Putting aside any extreme example, few emotions are as sad as the return from a dream holiday, especially if it’s been in a completely different place from your home or simply, if you just had the best vacations of your life. Returning to a routine can be a considerable shock, but if you follow our tips you some may keep vacation time on:
Look at your pictures once again
If you have the place where you´ve been in your head, it´s like you´re still there. If it is still difficult to do so, go over and over your photos, show them to everyone, it doesn’t matter that you get annoying, what matters here is your mood. If you have time, make an Instagram album with the best pics and keep remembering the best moments. Remember, if your head is still there, you are there too.

Do not change your diet
If you are lucky enough to live in a cosmopolitan city, I’m sure you’ll find a restaurant serving food from your last destination. If you went to Morocco, for instance, you might want to find out where to get the best tagine of the city, but if you had the best vacations of your life in Italy, you’ll have to find the best pizzeria and eat the best of the Italian cuisine. The point is that this small thing will allow your stomach to feel on vacation. I know, it is not the same, but it is better than nothing.
Drink a few cocktails on your terrace
There is no better feeling than drinking a refreshing cocktail while enjoying the sunshine. If you miss that feeling, you might want to buy a book of cocktails, a shaker, a bottle of vodka, rum or whiskey, and learn how to make your favorite cocktail. Then go out your patio (or balcony), lie down on a chair and enjoy your cocktail while squeezing the last days of sunshine this season. Ah ! Above all, do not forget the sunglasses! They are an important part in this great activity; synonym of pleasure.
Play the soundtrack of your holiday in over and over again
Many of us before going on holiday, create a playlist to enjoy during our journey. Listen to that song that will be forever associated with where you´ve been. It seems incredible but songs have a power, the power to evoke places. You can be on the bus, on the subway or on the street, but while listening to that song, before your eyes, will appear that very special place where you were a few days. The good thing is that the effect is not weak; you´ll have it forever.
And finally, the best method: start planning your next vacation!
The English have an expression called “hair of the dog”, which is to have a hangover, the best way to get rid of it is to drink again. With the holidays is the same: if you start planning the next vacations, the pain of returning to the normal routine will disappear.
Keep enjoying your vacations back home!
