After-travel Monday morning dread – and how to avoid it

7 strategies to help overcome the after-holiday Monday morning dread

Let’s set the scene.

You’ve been planning a 2-week trip for the last three months.

The trip was amazing! You walked 20,000 steps per day, saw the most incredible landscapes, and ate the most delicious foods.

And now the trip is over, and you’ve just reached home. It’s late on Sunday night.

You’re due at work in less than 8 hours.

You feel that familiar but weird feeling settling in your chest. It’s not quite sadness, and it’s not quite anxiety.
