Most of us wait all year to take off, relax and recuperate. Whether it’s an actual vacation or a staycation, holidays can often be stressful times, where we’re trying to pack in way too much and not actually taking the time to relax at all. Here are a few tips to making the best of your time off from work.
Plan ahead
If you’re wanting to go on a trip, get all your planning done and itinerary booked before you take off. Don’t leave anything to the last minute.
No pressure
Lower your expectations and try not to put too much pressure on yourself to have fun. The whole point of taking time off is to let go of responsibilities and expectations for a little while. If at all possible, forget about what day it is and don’t count down the days away. Be in the present, go with the flow and appreciate the small things.
Sleep!
More than likely, your working schedule has stressed you out and disrupted your sleep. Taking regular naps on your vacation will help your body and mind recover, and ultimately make you feel more rested when you go back to work.
Unplug
If your working life has you on the phone or in front of a screen all day be sure to take some time to unplug. And it probably goes without saying, but make it a rule not to answer any emails or calls from the office. Get outside, breathe the fresh air, eat the delicious food and do things that nurture your soul.
Hang out with family and friends
Reconnect with your loved ones while you’re on holiday but be mindful not to overwhelm yourself with too many engagements. Spend time with the people who truly matter, those precious few who you can truly let your hair down with and be yourself. Coming back to who you truly are is the most important way to have a deeply fulfilling vacation.
