TET IS OVER! TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK WITH ENTHUSIASM!!!

Our bodies are also like machines. When they are not operating for a long time, they become sluggish, bored, and lethargic. With these 10 tips, you can get rid of the “holiday mindset” from your body after the Tet holiday:

1. Eat properly

Tet is a time to enjoy delicious dishes. Even so, you should not fill your body with three times the amount of food you normally eat. This may put you at risk of overeating. On the other hand, if you eat too little, your body will not have enough energy and you will become tired.

2. Reduce protein-rich foods

A few days before Tet ends, you should avoid foods that are high in protein, starch, and fat, such as braised pork, banh chung, banh tet... These foods can easily become heavy and make you lose your appetite for other dishes. Ideally, add plenty of green vegetables and fresh fruit to your meals to “cleanse” your body. With enough fiber, you will feel much healthier and more refreshed.

3. Maintain your exercise routine

Every morning, you are used to saying “one, two, three, four” as you exercise. When Tet arrives, you allow yourself to sleep until noon and ignore exercise. This lazy mindset will make your body sluggish as well. Just spend 5 minutes in the morning doing some warm-up exercises, and you will see how beautiful spring can be.

4. Give your home a thorough cleaning

You already did this before Tet, but after several days of avoiding cleaning, the mess has returned. Spend a day clearing away the “remnants” of the Tet holiday. This is an effective way to get your body moving and prepare yourself to get back to work.

5. Rearrange your desk

Sort your documents and files, add some attractive office supplies, decorate with a few photo frames, flower vases… Doing this will give you more enthusiasm for your work.

6. Make a plan for the new year

First, go to a bookstore and choose a really nice notebook. Just doing this will already make you feel excited. Next, list the goals you want to accomplish in the new year. Categorize your goals, from short-term to long-term and from easy to difficult.

7. Try out one of your goals

Choose any plan from your “list” and put it into action. For example, if you want to learn how to draw, start by buying paper, brushes, paints… An enthusiastic start will help you gain momentum for the new year.

8. Find a challenging problem and try to solve it

This is a great way to force your brain and body to “wake up” after a period of doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and playing.

9. Stay away from alcohol and beer

You can have a little during your family’s year-end meal. However, alcohol and beer can make you feel lethargic, so it is best to stay away from them.

10. Jump into the swimming pool

If you still do not feel fully awake, there is nothing better than jumping into the swimming pool. Cool water will help you feel refreshed and more alert. After swimming a few laps, have a delicious meal, enjoy some fruit for dessert, listen to an upbeat song, and get everything ready for a new year of work.
