It has been scientifically proven that giving others is linked to the release of Oxytocin. That hormone is responsible for the feeling of warmth and connection.
Giving gifts also makes you sense the spirit of Eid, even if the actual Eid days are already gone.
Gifts are a great way to express your love and gratefulness to others. Additionally, it may change much about your relations.
2- Visit family members

Try to change your perspective about family relations and visits. Eid can be every day if you communicate more with your loved ones.
It's okay if you didn't have enough time to see family members during the holiday. There's still an excellent chance for giving them a visit and spending cozy times.
3- Spread Eid vibes

The ending of Eid doesn't define how much fun you're going to have in life. You can still do exciting activities during workdays.
Thinking of work as a burden doesn't help. It just adds negative vibes and weighs your heart.
