Yeah, so this may seem self-centric but for those of you who know me you’ll know I have a Virginia Wolf stream of conscious (boring) style. Stick with it.
I’ve com back to work today after a glorious 2 months off where i grew a beard and forgot about work and generally just had a great time. Think Monday blues and times it by a factor of 1000 and that’s close to where I am now. What makes it worse is i’m having to live away from home during the week in order to be at work - a good opportunity to gym of course, but my gym at home is probably better.
Anyway, to the point. What are your ESSENTIAL back to work tips to help you overcome the pain.
I have two thoughts on this:
-
Moan about it endlessley (to yourself unless you want the sack) and then later realise you were being stupid and it isn’t as bad as you thought
-
Try to embrace it and boldly correct your pessimism with extreme optimism.
Or do you go for the secret option number 3 where you smile, but really inside is the monkey with the cymbals.
Thoughts and any other tips to help me overcome the DREAD would be great.
I’m sure others may benefit from this too.
