We've all been there, getting off the plane from an amazing week or two away in an exotic destination to cold, rainy England and the prospect of work the next morning causing upset.
However, for me this time was that bit more daunting as not only was I going back to work but I was also starting a new job. There's nothing like a dose of post holiday blues that make you wish you'd chucked it all in and opened a donkey sanctuary in Cyprus. Here are some top tips to banish those blues.
1. Enjoy the memories
You might expect that pondering over all those sun kissed moments will make you deflated but it's quite the opposite. Print out some of those holiday photos and put them around the house - they can be great mood boosters.
2. Be kind to yourself
Personally I have chosen to do that by sticking to my personal training and kickboxing regime through the winter. Hoping it will help tackle those god awful bingo wings!
