Once you’ve returned to everyday life, the joy and relaxation of a holiday can feel like a distant memory.

But Conde Nast Traveller’s article, "What are post-holiday blues and how can we avoid them?", reveals that’s often not the case. The post-holiday slump is real, fueled by dopamine crashes, disrupted routines, and the loss of that holiday buzz.

The piece explores how this letdown mirrors feelings of grief and offers practical ways to keep that vacation energy alive. From planning “micro-adventures” to practicing gratitude, these easy-to-implement strategies may be the antidote to turning your post-vacation funk around.

Key Takeaways:

• 🌞 Dopamine’s role in post-vacation sadness: Holiday highs release dopamine, and the crash back to routine can feel like withdrawal.

• 🏃‍♀️ Plan micro-adventures: Small, local breaks can offer similar dopamine boosts and keep the blues at bay.

• 🍲 Bring vacation home: Incorporate elements of your trip into daily life, like cooking regional cuisine or new hobbies.

• 🧘‍♀️ Practice mindfulness: Gratitude exercises and mindfulness can reduce anxiety and help you focus on the positives of your life.
