How many times haven’t you thought: ‘ugh I
need a vacation’? How often does routine grind you down? I know I ask myself
those questions over and over again. We all long to that time of year when we
leave the safe borders of our narrow world, ready to conquer a terra incognita
full of souvenir shops and over prized drinks. They say there are many reasons
why we enjoy holidays abroad. I do it to
become inspired, to experience my own adventures, and to soothe that ever hungry
wander within me. But as every journey has to end, real life always awaits back
home. Too soon the daily rat race finds a way to discard all those wonderful
experiences, leaving us with only pictures and vague memories. As inevitable as
it might be, there are a few tricks to keep up the buzz and become reacquainted
with that hassle-free alter ego you’ve put on during your travels. I’ve written
down some of those tricks, based on my own experience. Unfortunately I haven’t
done every single one of them. So many times I feel myself slip down the abyss
of routines. Luckily I’ve noticed a few of those ‘tricks’ came natural, things
I have already been doing subconsciously. This can just as well apply for you too: some things on the list might sound to obvious to even consider, while others seem downright challenging.
But please, give it a shot. You might like
it. Hell, give me a kick in the ass for not doing those things more frequently.
Because writing them down is one thing. Actually doing them, requires effort.
But based on my own experiences, the reward can be unforgettable.
To be continued…
