Coming back to work after a break can feel harder than we expect.

There's often pressure to hit the ground running, be immediately productive, and prove you're "back into it", even when your mind and energy levels are still adjusting.

In this episode of Unwind Your Mind, I share a practical approach to returning to work in a way that supports sustainable success, not short bursts of productivity followed by burnout.

We talk about why easing in does not signal lack of motivation, how post-holiday energy can lead to overcommitment, and how to set a pace that actually works for you long-term.

If you're feeling flat, overwhelmed, or resistant about returning to work, this episode will help you slow down, reflect, and reset with intention.

HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Coming back to work is about pace, not speed.

2️⃣ Extra energy after a break can lead to overcommitment. Slowing down your "yes" helps protect future you from taking on more than you can sustain.

3️⃣Your emotional response to returning to work is information, not something to judge or push through.
