Holiday stress is a good topic during the holiday season. After all, what do you think about when you go on vacation? Relaxing, of course. But are we actually doing it right?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our personal trainer has just finished a training session with a client. This client suffers greatly from stress and absolutely cannot say no, which results in working weeks of more than 80 hours. He views this as taking responsibility, but there is, of course, much more to it. He told us this morning that he is leaving on Sunday for a holiday to a Southern European country. \u201cI always get sick the first week,\u201d he reports.
\nHe is always sick on vacation and never at work. This is also known as the so-called 'reverse Kortjakje syndrome'.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And not just sick. A mild flu or a fainting spell, but sometimes it even involves hospitalization because he had a fever of over 40 degrees. His body protests and wants to say something, but what?
\nEvery day, his body operates on autopilot, pushing on and on. Being considered important and never saying no. A change of environment and rhythm can then come as a shock and trigger an expression of stress.
\nIt is also possible that certain people experience physical difficulty with the transition from work to leisure time. In some men and women with demanding jobs, adrenaline production remains high during rest, causing them to produce a great deal of wasted energy, as it were, and making the body vulnerable. In others, the production of stress hormones drops much too quickly during the switch from work to rest. This, too, can throw the body significantly off balance. A certain degree of stress has a beneficial effect on the immune system. Therefore, it is possible that resistance to disease decreases when stress is relieved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is, of course, important to disconnect from work while on vacation. You can do this by taking long walks, cycling, etc. Also, take regular power naps to rest. Avoid alcohol and drugs, and do not answer your phone if you receive a call from work.
\nGetting used to a different rhythm the week before you go on vacation is also highly recommended. It is so much more enjoyable for your family and yourself if you are not sick but fully participate in the vacation rhythm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Of course, we also advise you to always keep moving on vacation. Feel free to ask for a workout schedule so you can stay active, which will greatly reduce vacation stress.<\/p>\n
