I welcome you to my blog. The holiday season is over, and it already feels like it has been ages since we returned back to our normal routine, but funny how it is just weeks ago. Trust me, I know we all miss the holiday season already and wish it could be extended a little. So many individuals used the holiday season to rest and recuperate, but it's funny how a few days at work and they are already looking for another holiday to help them recuperate, as they already feel tired. Returning back to work, school, or our normal routine that the holiday interrupted can be really stressful; the holidays helped keep us away from such stress, but it cannot do that for long, as we are all expected to return to work a few days after the holiday is over.
The holiday we all looked forward to is over; it did not even last as long as we needed. How much we worked and hustled required us to rest more than the holiday actually offered us, but since the holiday is over, we are left with no choice but to resume our daily routine. Ready or not, we just have to resume and continue from where we stopped before the holiday came knocking. Even though the holiday did not last, we all made the most of it.
One thing with the holiday is that whether ready or not, you must return to work. It is more like you have little or no choice but to return to work a few days after the holiday is over; a lot of us did not wish for the holiday to come to an end, and when it was almost over, we started thinking about how we would go back to work after such a relaxing one with little or no stress at all, just spending time with family and friends and relaxing more, but the holiday being over means we would have to work more, and relaxing only comes into the picture once in a while.
Switching from holiday mood back to work mood and school mood came with a rollercoaster of emotions. During the holidays I had more time for myself, and it is no longer so as I have to meet with school and work. During the holiday I could sleep for as long as I want and wake when I deem fit, but school and work will not let you enjoy such luxury of time; school and work dictate when to wake up and when to sleep with little or no time for oneself. Both school and work are for our own food, but trust me, the stress and workload that come with this make it really tiring considering how much relaxation time the holiday exposed us to.
images are mine.
The switch was not easy as at some point we already got comfortable with our days being less stress and more relaxing and with little to worry about or give out attention to. Now we are back to school and work, and every day you have a deadline to meet; your every activity is timed to enable you to meet up and give attention to everything that needs your attention. Every activity being timed or scheduled is one way to help attend to all that needs your attention, but sometimes it can be considered as pressure because of how important it is to best the time, as if you don't, it means certain things will not be attended to.
