Treat Yourself! Seven Ways to Survive the Post Bank Holiday Blues

You’ve had a taste of freedom, and now you want more. Bank Holiday weekends are amazing, but the Monday night Fear might be even worse than the typical Sunday night version. Not to worry. You made it as far as getting up, so you’re off to a good start. To help you through the day ahead, we’ve compiled a list of seven things to treat yourself to in the coming hours… ____________________________________ 1)   The morning coffee Yes they cost an absolute bomb over the long run, but what’s the harm in a couple of euro spent on an odd occasion to make your day ahead a lot easier from the off. Treat yourself. 2)   The catch-up chat When you make it to the office, take five and catch up with your colleagues. Share a funny story and spend a few minutes being friends instead of co-workers. It’s good to laugh. 3)   Delete the evidence An empty inbox is a joy on certain occasions. Give yourself some time to clear out those 527 mails you never planned on getting back to in the first place. Aaaaaand breathe. 4)   Take your break No one takes a proper lunch break anymore. For one day, stop being a desk diner and get up and out. Stretch your legs, get some fresh air and actually chew your food before you swallow. 5)   Skip the housework Who cares if the ironing sits in the basket for another 24 hours? You’ve made it through the working day at this stage, and that’s enough effort for one day. Relax. 6)   Lather up No ducking in under a ten second lukewarm shower. Bubble bath it is, with the nice scented candles and maybe even a herbal cuppa or some sneaky chocolate. Turn up the music, turn down the stress. 7)   Early to bed, early to rise… Now that you’ve tackled Tuesday, make Wednesday easier in advance with an early cut-off. If you have it in you, change the sheets on the bed. Fresh sheets are one of the best feelings in the world. You’ve earned it.   It’s the little things that put a smile on your face.
