Embrace leisure to recharge fully, and don't forget to find joy in daily routines. Planning small future activities can uplift your spirits, while romanticizing routine tasks makes homecoming sweeter. Keep to-do lists light at first, limit social engagements, and allow for comforting habits. Above all, be patient and celebrate those little wins!
