EAP: Mental Talks: The Summer Vacation. How To Get The Best Of It?

Summer symbolizes freedom – less clothes, lighter luggage, lighter food ,more time outside, more hours with friends at the park or in nature. Your personal summer vacation is the best time not to think about working staff and be more with yourself and your family.

In this workshop, we will uncover the secrets of being free to think just about your well-being and focus on your full recovery from hard work, stressful environment and daily stuff.

Many who return from vacation are more focused and productive. Studies have found that chronic stress can make it difficult to achieve certain tasks and cause memory problems. Taking time off can be like getting a tune-up for the brain, improving your mental health and cognition.

Employees who take regular time to relax are less likely to experience burnout, making them more creative and productive than their overworked, under-rested counterparts. Another way to manage burnout is through the Oxygen Mask Rule: “Secure your masks before assisting others.” In other words, address your mental, physical and spiritual needs before committing to responsibilities benefitting others outside of your immediate family.
