WHEN WE GO ON VACATION after a hectic few weeks or months of non-stop working, busy schedule, and full on “adulting”; we have a tendency of not being able to fully unwind. We are filled with so many nerves, so much stress, and can’t seem to turn off our brains from all the hardships of reality. When the vacation begins, it doesn’t even feel like a vacation. This is such a travesty because people only take vacations, like, once a year or none at all!
At Luxēvo Vacations, we eat, breath, sleep, VACATIONS. We want our clients, our friends and family, our guests, to have the best vacationing experience, EVER. So, to really make this vacation feel like a vacation, here’s a list of our personal tips to take advantage of a fully RELAXED vacation.
DON’T BE A CONSTANT CHECKER
Everyone can agree that without our phones, we would feel totally lost. But, being on vacation is the time to disconnect. It is your time to focus on yourself, your mind, your body, your physical and mental health, and to just destress yourself. So, once you land at location and are ready to begin your vacation; don’t constantly check your emails, text messages, or social media. Instead, turn off your notifications, delete your social medias, delete your email app; do whatever you need to do to just disconnect from reality back home and focus on yourself, your surroundings, and follow your bliss.
REST IS THE BEST
When you begin your vacation, you might just feel so exhausted and lethargic because of all the stress, added work, and busy schedule, so you might just need to spend the first days, resting. It is okay to sleep in, take naps, or go to sleep early. When you catch up on sleep, you improve your physical and mental state. By beginning vacation with some sleep, you will be more productive on your trip. Vacation is for restoration.
MAKE MONEY, SPEND MONEY
You spend all this time working, so hard, to make all this money and have nothing to do with it but pay bills. Don’t make money a stress factor. Take advantage of this once-a-year vacation. If you want to eat at the most expensive restaurant, DO IT. If you want to buy one more drink, DO IT. If you want to spend money on a different activity every day, DO IT. Take this time to live in luxury and lavish yourself. Don’t add stress to the trip by questioning a budget. Break the bank and enjoy yourself!
BOOST YOUR ENDORPHINS
Taking vacation, also, gives you time to do activities that you love or to try new things. In-between resting periods, doing activities; like, yoga, swimming, exploring, dancing, etc., raises your positive endorphins. Endorphins release feelings of pleasure, motivation, euphoria, and pain relief. Do what you can to make yourself feel good on vacation.
THE SUN IS GOOD FOR YOU
Definitely wear sunscreen, but the sun is good for you. The “sunshine vitamin” keeps your bones healthy because your body absorbs vitamin D and calcium. Also, it totally feels good to lay out on a beach, take a nap, enjoy a drink, feel the water, and just relax. Let your skin get a nice crispy, golden tan. It’s good for you and shows how much you really took advantage of this relaxing vacation.
