It's the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and only 2 days remain of the holiday. What should you pay attention to? Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, also known as "Sending Away Poverty Day," and here are some customs: Deep cleaning to send away "poverty energy": Sweep from inside the house outward to the door, and dispose of trash promptly, symbolizing the removal of laziness and clutter, creating a clean and orderly living environment. Wear new clothes and go out: Dress neatly and go for a walk outdoors, which helps boost spirits and welcome a successful new year. Avoid eating leftover rice and dishes: There is a saying in folk customs that "on the sixth day, do not eat leftovers," meaning to send away "poverty energy," and it also aligns with hygiene principles—avoiding eating spoiled or reheated food. At the same time, workers should note that in two days, it will be time to return to work. What should you pay attention to? 1. Return trip safety tips 1. Check your vehicle and plan your route Before driving back, thoroughly inspect your vehicle, including brakes, tires, fuel system, and lights, to ensure it’s in good condition. Check weather and traffic conditions along your route in advance to avoid congestion. 2. Buckle up and drive responsibly Both drivers and passengers should wear seat belts. Children should use appropriate car seats, and avoid holding them or letting them sit in the front seat. 3. Avoid dangerous behaviors Strictly prohibit driving under the influence of alcohol or fatigue. After driving for 4 hours continuously, take a break for at least 20 minutes to stay alert. 2. Gradually return to normal routines 1. Adjust your biological clock to avoid "post-holiday syndrome" Start regular routines two or three days in advance, ensuring 7–8 hours of sleep daily, and avoid staying up late watching dramas or overusing electronic devices. 2. Exercise moderately to wake up your body Engage in light exercises such as brisk walking, stretching, or jumping jacks, accumulating at least 30 minutes daily to help restore energy and metabolic balance. 3. Do not neglect psychological adjustment 1. Be alert to "return trip anxiety" and emotional fluctuations Especially for elderly people living alone or those working remotely for a long time, they may experience physical discomfort or low mood after reunions, such as diarrhea or chest tightness, which could actually be physical responses to psychological anxiety. 2. Take the initiative to settle your mind and establish a new rhythm for the year You can do this by tidying up your room, making plans, or meditating, to smoothly transition from "holiday mode" to "everyday life," enhancing a sense of control.

Thank you for sharing! This reminder about returning to work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is so timely—especially the points about "adjusting your biological clock" and "being alert to travel anxiety." They make me realize that a healthy mind and body are the true foundation for a successful new year!🧨
