After a year and a half of the whole world being more or less closed, we could all use a proper vacation. If all goes according to plan, it seems like 2022 will mark the grand comeback of the tourism and travel industries, so there’s no time like the present to plan your next vacation. Just in case you’ve managed to forget how to disconnect and unwind, here are some key tips for getting proper rest while on vacation.
Less Phone Time
This tip is so simple, but so often overlooked: spend less time on your phone! The best way to go would be to actually turn it off or switch it to flight mode for at least a few hours a day. Rest assured that nothing terrible is going to happen if you just focus on resting and answer WhatsApp texts later.
More Books and Music
Nothing beats chilling on the beach with your favorite music streaming app or a good book. Our hectic routines rarely leave a lot of time for us to properly enjoy those things, and weaving them into our vacation time can be a perfect way to get some more active rest (preferably while tanning).
Some Alone Time
This is actually an important one. When we go on vacation with our partner, with family, or with a group of friends, spending so much time together can become a bit intense. So don’t be shy to take some time for yourself and encourage others to do that too. It’s a great way to make sure you continue to enjoy each other’s company and make the most of your mutual time off.
