Dealing with Life After the Expedition
You reached the Mount Everest summit region. You achieved the dream. Now you are back at a desk. Post-trek depression is real. Here is how to handle the transition.
Going from the simplicity of 'walk, eat, sleep' to the complexity of modern life is jarring. You might feel disconnected from friends who don't understand your Everest trekking experience.
Your body needs rest, but stop moving completely. Do light exercise to keep the endorphins flowing. Eat well. Be kind to yourself.
The best cure is a new goal. Start planning your next adventure. Whether it's Kilimanjaro or Annapurna, having a future target keeps the spirit alive.
You aren't the same person who left. Integrate the lessons of the mountain into your daily life.
