We then talk about post-vacation depression and share tips on how to minimize stress so that you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest,
Do Try This At Home:
- If possible, plan a transition period before and after your vacation so that you are less pressured when returning to your normal routine.
- Plan future trips to have something to look forward to.
- Set an intention, rather than an expectation, regarding your vacation to be more present.
