When I feel this way, I try to plan something fun in the city I live to remind myself that I live somewhere fun and exciting too. 

Maybe there’s a restaurant you’re dying to try, or a new brewery that just opened. Plan a date with friends and check it out! 

Plan another trip - even if you don’t get to go for awhile, armchair travel will take your mind off the blues. Besides, you can check out lovely photos of new destinations online, so much fun.

ALL THE TIME. But I try to flip it into a post-vacation chillness. Like, there are a few days after you get back when you still feel a little bit of the ease in anxiety, and I try to lean into that a little bit. It doesn't last long enough, but it's a definite upside. 

I also plan a fun weekend dinner, to give me something small to look forward to. 

I just got home from a long-overdue, much-needed vacation that was so much fun and now I am deeeeeeepressed that it's over. The whole back to life/back to reality of it all feels pretty overwhelming. I know I should be happy I had a vacation in the first place, but I was looking forward to it for so long and now it's over. 

Rather than booking another vacation ASAP (I can't afford it tbh) what else can I do to shake off these post-vacay blues? Anyone else experience this when they get home from a trip, too? Help!
