在經(jīng)歷了春節(jié)長假的美好時光之后，很多人會感到憂慮，并且感覺要恢復日常生活節(jié)奏很困難。這種癥狀被稱為“節(jié)后憂慮癥”、“節(jié)后壓抑”或是“新年后憂慮”。這些名詞都描述了春假或是節(jié)假日后的精神壓力。
接下來的這些步驟會幫助你擺脫你的節(jié)后憂慮癥。
1. Expect some letdown.
了解節(jié)后會有段時間心情低落。
The holiday season is both joyful and stressful at once. There is family to get along with, gifts to buy and return, people to visit, activities to throw yourself into, plenty of festive food to eat, sales to rush to, and parties to plan and attend. Topped off with the excitement of New Year's Eve, your adrenaline has probably been pumping a lot of the time during the New Year's period. Returning to the usual routine and probably quieter workplace than normal can dampen your spirits just by the absence of exciting things to do and look forward to. Expecting to feel a little low is a way of telling yourself that this is a normal feeling and that it will soon pass once the routine re-establishes itself.
2. Choose to see the benefits of post-holiday time.
多看到節(jié)后時光好的一面。
The good side to the end of the holidays is that you've had a chance to rest, to relax, and to enjoy yourself. The craziness prior to New Year has ended both at the workplace and in the home, and the restful time after New Year has hopefully given you the opportunity to do things that are different from your usual routine. And any break in the routine is good for the spirit, providing you with the chance to rejuvenate.
3. Be gentle on yourself with respect to your New Year's Resolutions.
在新年計劃這件事兒上，別太逼自己。
Ensure that any goals you've set are reasonable and most importantly achievable. Taking weight loss as an example, targeting for a size zero is unrealistic, but looking for 1 pound loss in a span of week seems to be more achievable.
4. Keep being around people.
多接觸人。
Some of the post-holiday season blues might be related to having been around many people over the New Year break and then suddenly finding yourself surrounded by people you don't know that well, or even not by many people at all. Lift your spirits by continuing to stay connected with friends and family, and getting out and about to do activities where other people interact with you.
5. Do things that give you cause to look forward to something.
做一些能讓你向前看的事兒。
Revive the excitement of anticipation by arranging fun things, such as having dinner with friends, starting a new class for a hobby or interest, attending a sporting event regularly, going to the movies, etc. Choose activities that meet your budget and interests, and that you know will give you a thrill.
6. Make healthy choices.
吃回健康食物。
After the many indulgences over the holiday period, it can leave you feeling a little out of shape and worse for wear in the nutrition department. Aim to return to eating healthy food, drinking healthy drinks, and ensuring that you keep getting a good amount of exercise. Eating well and keeping up regular exercise will enhance your mood and help you return to good shape and fitness levels.
7. Make this a time for getting professional help and turning around things that have been bothering you.
用這段時間來解決一直煩惱你的事，尋求專業(yè)幫助。
The holiday season tends to put a hold on pressing issues at work and in your personal life because the celebrations, meet-ups, and preparations require your foremost attention. Once this busyness dies down, you're returned to thinking about your general life issues and this might just be a good time to get help from the professionals, be it for anything from sorting out your finances, redecorating your home, or dealing with the unhappy feelings you're experiencing.
8. Expect to enjoy the year ahead.
期待新的這一年。
Trying to keep a positive frame of mind and planning for interesting and fulfilling events throughout the year is a good way to calm your current blues. Think ahead to the changing seasons and the sorts of things you'd like to be doing as the year moves on, and the sorts of activities and events you'd like to be a part of. Doing something about the things you'd like to happen is the first step and once you're immersed in planning and doing, you'll be too busy to fret.
