She-Vivor
Surviving the Post Vacation Blues
We cannot understand that after all our
planning for the perfect ‘relaxing’ vacation.
Researching and finding the ‘perfect’ place. It
was a beautiful location, so many things to do
and see. You negotiated for the best price, that
included activities for everyone in the family.
Y ou are a survivor - we all are! Most
of us will never be part of the well known TV
series “SURVIVOR” with its exotic locations,
challenging stunts and videoed victories or
losses. Does that mean our challenges are any
less difficult or deserving of being witnessed
and efforts applauded?
Did July and August only last 5 minutes?
September means back to school for the kiddies
and for us ladies back to routine. Whether we
work outside the home, work from home or a
stay at home mom - September often finds us
feeling disappointed.
What are the signs? Feeling tired and
overwhelmed and wondering if you will have the
energy to get things done.
We wonder why we are tired? We are returning
home after 2-4 weeks of vacation time away.

You were going to have time for you to relax

You now find yourself desperately looking
forward to your next long weekend or
vacation days - sound familiar?
