How to Beat the Holiday Blues

I
went on holiday at the beginning of June which was great because it was cheaper, with less children and a virtually empty resort (which meant there no
need to get up at 5 to bag a decent sun lounger). However it also means I now
have the whole summer to enviously look at other people's Facebook posts
of their getaways. I had such an amazing week of relaxing, that coming
home was a very sad day, no more sun, no more sea, no more justifying
having 3 scoops of ice cream every day and more cocktails than I can
count because 'I'm on holiday!' So here are a few ways to hopefully
lessen those pesky holiday blues:
Ease yourself back in
No
doubt your body clock will be slightly messed up from the time
difference and having spent a week doing nothing but sunbathing and
reading a couple of good books, you'll probably find doing the washing up absolutely
exhausting. So try and start out slow, that overflowing inbox can wait a
day.
Look at photos
It's
like Monica from Friends after the wedding, she thought it was all over
but she still had the pictures to look forward too. Get your photos
developed, pop them in an album and if you're ever feeling blue, give
them a browse.
Have something to look forward too
You
don't need to book it straight away but speculating about your next
holiday destination will give you something to look forward too. If you
can't wait, then plan a little something as a treat, like a fun
day out with friends.
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"
Ah Doctor Suess, that wise man. It might sound
cheesy but it's so true. If you're suffering from the holiday blues it only
means you've had an amazing holiday and hopefully made some memories to
last.
