Oh, sweet vacation. That time when you can escape the stress of your everyday life and get some much-needed downtime. Unless, of course, you spend your holiday frantically running from one \u201cmust-see\u201d sight to the next, or you find yourself tethered to your inbox the whole time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might have every intention of going on a completely stress-free vacation, but sometimes your long-awaited \u201choliday\u201d leaves you feeling more frazzled than when you left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your vacation is your time to fully relax and recharge \u2014 and if you don\u2019t commit yourself to that, your time off may end up being completely counterproductive. There\u2019s no way to control the flight delays, travel mishaps, or those pesky emails from your boss, but there are a few things you can do to ensure you really<\/em> enjoy your vacation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since vacation days always seem to be fleeting or few and far between, here are six ways to amp up the enjoyment factor and make the most of your precious time off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Remember it’s impossible to do it all<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One thing that\u2019s guaranteed to ruin any vacation? Cramming as many activities and sights as possible into every 24-hour period. I know the FOMO is real when you travel, but the last thing you want to do is overload your schedule with more than you can handle. To avoid any itinerary-induced anxiety, try to pace yourself. Focus on experiences rather than ticking things off some \u201ctop ten attractions\u201d list. Aim for quality over quantity. When you do put that itinerary together, create a list of \u201cmust-see\u201d places and another of \u201cwould like to see\u201d places. This way, you can prioritise your time without feeling pressure to see and do everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Keep your vacation expectations in check<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s only natural to be excited about your vacation, but if you start out with rigid or unrealistic expectations, you\u2019ll always be disappointed \u2014 regardless of what does or doesn\u2019t happen. Will the hotel room end up being smaller than it looked on the website? Probably. Will that Instagram-worthy vista look a little less spectacular with dozens of other people crowded around you, vying to capture the same photo? Definitely. Rather than stressing about trivial things, focus on what you\u2019d like to have happen while you\u2019re on holiday instead \u2014 whether it\u2019s adventure, connection, or simply total relaxation. These are the kinds of vacation goals that won\u2019t be ruined when plans go awry.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Go with the flow <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all have a story about that trip that didn\u2019t go as planned. Maybe you were bound for Italy<\/a> but your luggage ended up in Idaho. Maybe you spent the entirety of that once-in-a-lifetime holiday in the hotel bathroom, curled up in the fetal position with a horrific case of food poisoning. When you\u2019re travelling, it\u2019s safe to say something will probably go wrong. While you can\u2019t stop unexpected occurrences from happening, you can choose how you react to them. And more often than not, those mishaps and wrong turns offer the opportunity to connect with the place you\u2019re visiting on a more genuine level. If you find yourself in the middle of a ridiculous travel situation on holiday, take a deep breath, remind yourself it will all work out \u2014 and then try to think about how funny it will be when it\u2019s all over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Take time to unplug<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A vacation is one of the rare times when you can ignore your calls, notifications, and overflowing inbox and actually get away with it, so take full advantage! Disable push notifications, temporarily delete your work-related apps, go to dinner without your phone \u2014 do whatever it takes to fully disconnect from the stresses of work and home life. Taking a break from being constantly glued to a screen will only make your vacation that much sweeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Ease back into work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A fantastic vacation will leave you feeling rested, refreshed, and more energised. That post-holiday afterglow can last for a while, unless you book a red-eye flight with three stopovers and a 7-hour layover on the way home. Transitioning back to work will be difficult enough, so try not to make it any harder by subjecting yourself to stressful travel conditions \u2014 especially if you need to be back at the office bright and early the next day. If possible, schedule your return flight so you\u2019ll have a day or two to unwind and decompress before you get back to the grind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Don\u2019t do it for the \u2018gram <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, make sure you\u2019re planning a vacation you genuinely want to take. <\/strong>It sounds pretty obvious, right? But, <\/strong>so many of us fall into the trap of booking a trip because it seems like the kind of holiday we \u201cshould\u201d be taking, or the kind that will impress other people. Just like anything in life, our vacation choices can be influenced by social pressure, so ask yourself where\u2019d you want to go if no one else knew or cared. Whether you\u2019re keen to lounge on a beach for seven days straight or explore remote corners of the Alaskan wilderness, the most important thing is to make a choice that reflects your interests and desires. <\/p>\n\n\n
