I came back off my holiday in Turkey last week and the post-holiday blues set in straight way. Some people may laugh at post-holiday blues but many people suffer from them, if you think about it one minute you’re lying on the beach, the sun on your skin, thinking about which cocktail you’ll order in the evening; the next you’re back home facing a mountain of dirty washing, dead houseplants and nothing to look forward to.
There are a few suggestions to get over the blues; some people suggest unpacking immediately and getting all you washing over and done with. Which is what I did, however suitcase is still in the kitchen, in the way and all the clean washing is building up on my ironing board! This may be why I’m still suffering from the blues. There are also suggestions that you show off your tan, which was okay to do a couple of days ago, but know we have had rain, I can’t show it off as much as I would like to.
One way I have found to keep the holiday mood going, even back at work is the healthy eating I did on holiday, with plenty of salads and fresh fruit. Only thing I have omitted was the cakes I ate every day, much is the shame. This has helped me feel a lil better, however I think the only option left is to book another holiday, that’s a sure fire way to get over the holiday blues and then I can get excited about that!
