HOW TO COPE WITH POST-VACATION DEPRESSION

THAILAND ONE/ HEALTH & WELLNESS

HOW TO COPE WITH POST-VACATION DEPRESSION...

Give yourself a day or two to transition from vacation mode to work mode if possible. Try to tackle tasks one at a time and set realistic expectations. 4. Ease Back Into Work or Responsibilities Talking to friends who have also experienced post-vacation blues can be reassuring. Sharing stories and encouraging each other to keep the positive vacation energy alive can lift your mood. 5 . Connect with Others Who Understand Getting back to a good sleep routine, eating well, and incorporating physical activity can all improve mood. Exercise is especially helpful because it releases endorphins, which can reduce feelings of stress and sadness. 6 . Focus on Self-Care and Healthy Habits

Post-vacation depression is common, as the contrast between the excitement of vacation and returning to daily routines can be a letdown. Here are some strategies that may help you ease back into normal life and prolong the positive effects of your time away

STORY & PHOTOGRAPHY BY/ THAILAND ONE

1. Reflect on Positive Memories

Relive the good moments by looking through photos, journaling about your favorite experiences, or sharing stories with friends or family. Making a photo album or video montage can help solidify those memories and provide a comforting reminder of the trip.

2. Incorporate Vacation “Feelings” into Your Routine

7 . Start Planning Your Next Adventure (If Feasible)

Identify what made the trip feel special, like leisurely breakfasts, outdoor time, or trying new foods. Try to in- corporate these elements into your regular schedule, even if in small ways

Planning for another trip, even if it’s far in the future or just a day trip, can give you a sense of excitement and something to work toward.

3. Plan Small Things to Look Forward To

8 . Practice Gratitude

Reflect on the unique experiences and memories you gained from the vacation. Practicing gratitude for these moments can help replace sadness with appreciation.

Schedule local events or short getaways to create future milestones. Even small changes, like a fun weekend activity, can break up your routine and give you something to antici- pate.
