Take time to ease yourself back into it. It will take a while to establish the routine. Try relax and enjoy 😛

Eating healthy food is a great help for return to work. It makes the body and mind function at full capacity.

The first day back is always usually a write off with checking emails. Spend the day refreshing your memory on what projects/jobs you were working on, and plan for the upcoming weeks.

Wake up earlier on the first day – less rushing around as you try to remember your regular routine.
