The Ministry of Health announced on April 5 recommendations to help people return to work and academic activities in a healthy way after the recent long holiday.
This guidance aims to address common feelings of tiredness or difficulty that some may experience when resuming daily routines following an extended break. According to the Ministry, these reactions are linked to changes in schedules and habits during time off.
Cindy Gutiérrez, a neuropsychologist at the National Institute of Child Health (Breña), said that such sensations are temporary and can be managed with small adjustments. “Esta sensación es temporal y puede manejarse adecuadamente con pequeños ajustes en la rutina,” Gutiérrez said.
Key recommendations include gradually returning to regular sleep, eating, and activity schedules, as well as organizing tasks by priority. The Ministry also advises identifying which aspects cause more discomfort and adopting healthy strategies for coping while maintaining a positive attitude toward returning to responsibilities.
The Ministry emphasized the importance of listening to one’s body and paying attention to warning signs. If discomfort continues or affects daily performance, seeking professional guidance is recommended. Those who feel they need specialized support can visit their nearest health center for appropriate care.
According to the Ministry, taking care of mental health is essential for a productive return. With good organization and healthy habits, it is possible to resume activities with energy and well-being.
