After
a long day of travel there is really nothing anyone wants to do besides crash
and take a nap on that bed you missed so much- which is perfectly acceptable if
you arrive home at night. However, if you get home during the day then it’s
back to business. Here’s my top three tips on getting back to every day life:
1. Unpack. This
is the most important in my mind. To unpack is to move on and put the trip
away. If I arrive home anytime besides night my first mission is to unpack and
begin laundry. If I don’t right away that suitcase will remain full until I
desperately need what’s inside of it- and so its best to get it done right
away. This also tells your mind that you are home now and will take the burden
of unpacking off your list of to dos (which seems like sadly long list whenever
you come home from a trip).
2. Eat well.
We’ve all been guilty of using vacation as an excuse to eat whatever looks good
but once your home don’t let this habit continue. The morning after I get back
I like to make a healthy smoothie. I find this to be a good way to start the
day off and detox after being away eating foods that are not usually in my
diet- including the resentable “plane food”.
3. Get back on
schedule. Jet lag is real and only gets stronger if you fall to its powers. If
you arrive during the day stay awake until your usual bed time. Otherwise,
you’ll be stuck in a different time zone for even longer. Somethings I like to
do stay awake are unpack, exercise or go for a walk, and do some work.
Hope
these tips help you get back to daily life!
