Does returning to work after a holiday give you major feels? Feels that you\u2019re not ready to deal with? Unless you\u2019re one of the #RichKids of Beverly Hills<\/a>, you\u2019ve probably experienced that soul exploding moment when your alarm clock goes off on your first day back at work.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

And although I agree your alarm clock is a douchebag, I promise these four tips will help get you through the post-holiday blues.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Drink tropical mocktails<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Who says elaborate tropical mocktails are restricted to a swim-up-bar? Not me. I live by the #YOLO and like to extend my holiday vibes by enjoying a colourful beverage at my desk \u2013 complete with little umbrella and everything. Wanna join me? Check out these holiday mocktails<\/a> that send me straight back to Radisson Blu Resort Fiji<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong> Add a banana to your mocktails to boost your happy hormones.<\/p>\n

\"Enjoy<\/a>

Enjoy your mocktail in a souvenir cocktail glass for additional envy from your colleagues. Bottoms up!<\/p><\/div>\n

2. Wear holiday clothes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the best things about going on holidays is the comfortable clothes. Man, I love to be comfortable. Whether you prefer resort wear, evening wear or a wet suit, if you love it and it keeps your holiday alive \u2013 wear it to work. Let everyone respect how chill you are on holiday. Get started by wearing a sarong<\/a> at work. Dare ya – tweet us @lastminute_au to prove it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"I\u2019ve<\/a>

I\u2019ve never felt so free<\/p><\/div>\n

3. Listen to Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The music I listen to while I\u2019m travelling becomes a part of the holiday experience itself, and whenever I hear particular songs I\u2019m instantly transported back. Picture this: I\u2019m sitting at my desk in full beast mode smashing my to-do list, I fire up Spotify and *boom* I\u2019m Drunk in Love<\/em> on a New York subway with Beyonc\u00e9, next *bang* I\u2019m on a London dance floor with LaRoux Going in For the Kill<\/em>. Check out our very own return-to-work playlist<\/a> on Spotify.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\u201cI\u2019m<\/a>

\u201cI\u2019m a survivor. I\u2019m not gonna make it. I will survive. Keep on survivin\u2019…\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

4. Plan your next holiday<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Start dreaming about your next destination and you need a game plan, a light at the end of the tunnel, and a {insert overused idiom here} to make it through to your next holiday.
