Rest after rest

The first half of the summer was spent with my husband under the banner of renovation. Therefore, when it was finished with him, we decided to relax by going to the Crimea for a week. Not because we didn't have enough money for more, but we just got used to it. Our favorite place on the peninsula is the Sudak region. The sea is clean and calm, the sun is generous, and the prices do not bite. In general, for us summer in Sudak is the same tradition as for some people going to the bathhouse on December 31.

No sooner said than done

For 7 days we had fun in full: swimming, sunbathing, tasting Masandra wines and New World champagne … Returning to Moscow seemed like hard labor. While we were on the train for a day, we managed to get tired again and after that we needed rest after rest … And after a couple of days, my throat started to hurt as usual. As usual - a week later the vacation spent seemed like last year's dream, and before the next one - like walking to Berlin. That's when I thought: How is that? You work, work, wait, this couple of weeks a year, like manna from heaven, and in the end - you get out of vacation, and after a week or two you again become the same sluggish carrot, as if you are not Something is wrong here, and if it is not so, something needs to be changed.

There were plenty of incentives for experimentation. First, fatigue does not have the best effect on work. Secondly (or is it in the first place?), Because of the lowered tone, sexual life suffers greatly. Thirdly, my tired look in the mirror completely depressed me. Since I had just taken a vacation, I had to think about how to put my body in order with "improvised" means.

I started with the weekend. Somehow it turns out that it is on weekends that we most often plan various chores around the house: washing, cleaning, ironing, cooking, shopping for a week's supply of food … But what if you were smart and spread these things on weekdays? So that not in such a crowd - over the weekend, but little by little - from Monday to Friday? And devote the weekend to something less prosaic, for example, arrange a family trip to the cinema or theater, go on a picnic with friends, go with the younger ones to an ice cream parlor, ride in the park on roller skates, read a book that I have been looking at for the last six months, look Vidic, finally. In a word, change the pace, relax and … relax in the truest sense of the word. It turned out that it was not so difficult and rest after rest not so difficult:

And here are some very practical tips that I managed to glean from smart foreign health magazines:

try not to approach him on weekends and after a working day (even if you really want to). The same goes for TV, books, newspapers and magazines. In extreme cases, you can simply "listen" to the TV set.

make it a rule to walk for half an hour in the fresh air before going to bed

in a country with a different climate, even before leaving, start drinking a vitamin complex specially designed to strengthen the body's immune system. At the very least, this should be done immediately upon returning home.

at home, listen to everything at minimum volume. In fact, in such a situation, doctors generally recommend doing without unnecessary noise after a working day, so it is better to postpone listening to music and watching movies for the weekend.

often accompanied by some depression, caused not by psychological, but purely physiological reasons. To minimize it, eat … bananas. This product contains a very powerful natural antidepressant (moreover, it is completely harmless to the body, unlike drugs).

make it a rule to "catch the sun": you should wake up no later than dawn (in autumn and winter it's not so early, you must admit), and try to spend the whole daylight hours as close to a natural source of light as possible. At the very least, during your lunch break, you should go outside and walk a little (at least to the nearest store or cafe).

In a word, you and I are still far from vacation. Therefore, we will arrange rest after rest right now, so that, God forbid, do not catch the "chronic fatigue syndrome".
