Professor Craig Jackson at Birmingham City University believes workers should embrace small victories, such as freedom from the family, being back out in the fresh air, meeting friends, and wearing smart clothes again.
Professor Jackson said: “The back to work blues is partially instigated by having had a break from the normal routine - and in some cases this was filled with fun and enjoyment. It is only natural and quite normal that the ending of the festive period is overshadowed by the return to the norm; simply part of the natural ‘down’ following the ‘up’ of Christmas.
