Some of us may still be winding up our holiday celebrations — gift exchanges may be lingering on our calendar yet, and the decorations may remain hanging to keep those festive vibes alive.  The holidays can take over our lives in many ways, given the deadlines and extra hubbub that go along with the festivities.  

Often, our regular routines change in the time leading up to the holidays. Our work life changes with having some work days off.  Our energy level may be heightened to meet the demands of the holidays. Then we are expected (or we expect of ourselves) to jump back into our regular daily life where we left it before the holidays.

For many, having the holiday break is reinvigorating and refreshing, as we have broken completely away from the norm of our daily lives. However, being out of our routine for a week or two can also leave us struggling to get back into the swing of things.
