A psychologist told me how to go on vacation

Be sure to dedicate part of your vacation meditation

Unfortunately, not all people are awaiting the release with excitement and good mood. Many fear such an array of free time, because we live under the yoke of society and do not know how to manage your time.

This was stated by the psychologist Ekaterina Melnikova.

“Summer, more relaxed pace of life is not suitable for people who are active, those who are more inclined to act rather than feel. The lack of urgent tasks and a clear schedule can provoke dive into unpleasant thoughts. Free time seems to invite summing up which, in turn, causes a sense of dissatisfaction,” – said the expert.

According to Melnikova, in spite of the feeling of anxiety, of the holiday can not refuse, because that will increase the degree of psychoemotional tension, which subsequently can impair the nervous system and contribute to a nervous breakdown and depression.

“If you experience anxiety before a vacation, the first thing I recommend, is gradually “let go” of the work. Do not immediately in the first day of vacation to travel. Better to stay home, sleep, do household chores, to behave as if it is just output. A smooth transition may take a few days, but it will help your mind to adapt to a lot of free time,” he added.

The psychologist also stressed that in case of disturbing sensations, not necessary to agree on a vacation in a “foreign” taste. The pressure of society that tells us about the wonders of the sea and beaches and so forth, can be another stress factor. It is best to set clear priorities and to go where you really want to.
