Psychologist Teresa Espassandim said that the main obstacle to quality rest during vacation is thoughts about work. According to the specialist, even a single notification or message can instantly pull a person back into work mode, reports infohub.kz.
The expert advises not to think about work processes so that vacation truly helps restore energy. The ability to completely disconnect from work is important not only for mental health but also for physical recovery.
Espassandim also emphasized that the habit of forgetting about work during vacation brings long-term benefits. After full rest, people return to their duties more focused, make well-considered decisions, procrastinate less, and cope with stress more easily.
The psychologist recommends minimizing work contacts during vacation and not giving the brain reasons to re-engage with tasks.
