The end of summer is approaching, and with it the return to the office. The transition can seem tough after weeks of relaxation and time spent in the great outdoors. To avoid back-to-school stress and prolong the benefits of summer, why not incorporate a few tips into your routine for a smooth return to work?
Here are our tips for a smooth and happy return to the office:
1. Treat yourself to Nature Weekends
Who said holidays had to end as soon as you got back to work? At Naéco Hostels, we believe that the holiday spirit can be extended throughout the year. Our accommodation, set in the heart of Brittany's countryside, is perfect for a quick weekend getaway. There's nothing like a breath of fresh air, a walk in the forest or an afternoon on the beach to unwind after an intense week at work.
Key tip: Plan a nature weekend every month to give yourself regular breaks. A stay at Naéco Hostels will allow you to recharge your batteries, far from the noise and stress of the city... A great way to extend your summer during the Indian summer.
2. Adopt outdoor activities
One of the best ways to extend your summer is to keep active. Outdoor activities aren't just for holidays! Even after you've gone back to work, continue to enjoy the benefits of summer sports. Surfing, paddle boarding, hiking or cycling - there are plenty of ways to relieve stress and keep fit.
At Naéco Hostels, you have access to a multitude of outdoor activities, either close to our establishments or through partnerships with local professionals. What's more, these activities can be incorporated into your weekly routine, such as an after-work outing or a morning session at the weekend.
Key tip: Try to maintain regular physical activity to help you stay energised and motivated throughout the year. Why not sign up for classes or join a club near you as soon as you start again in September?
3. Keep it simple
Summer is often synonymous with simplicity and moments of relaxation shared with loved ones. With work starting up again, it's easy to become overwhelmed by responsibilities and obligations. To avoid this, try to preserve these little moments of happiness in your daily life.
Organise impromptu picnics, take the time to read a book on your terrace or enjoy a coffee in the open air instead of staying indoors. At Naéco Hostels, we're all about getting back to basics, with simple but comfortable accommodation that's perfect for reconnecting with yourself and others.
Key tip: Build disconnected breaks into your daily routine, away from screens, to refocus and enjoy life's simple pleasures. Take the time out of the office as if you were on holiday and extend your summer!
4. Practice Digital Disconnection
Finally, one of the biggest challenges of returning to work is staying connected all the time. However, regular digital disconnection is essential for preserving your mental and physical well-being. During your weekends at Naéco Hostels, take the opportunity to unplug completely: leave your phone behind, get away from work emails and immerse yourself in nature.
Key tip: Set aside some time each week to disconnect, even at the office. For example, set aside an hour each day without a screen or go for a walk without your phone during your lunch break.
Going back to work doesn't mean the end of summer fun. By adopting these tips and continuing to enjoy nature weekends at Naéco Hostels, you can make summer last all year round. Treat yourself to these moments of well-being so that you can return to work with energy and enthusiasm, ready to take on any challenge!
Remember: the key to a successful return to the office is finding the right balance between work and relaxation. Naéco Hostels is here to help you make this transition smoothly, with nature-based getaways to recharge your batteries on a regular basis.
