We have experienced that sinking feeling on the day were about to resume work after a fantastic two-week vacation. We dread to switch on the laptop and witness the flooded mailbox. We repeatedly go through pictures and daydream about being there again.
Its normal to suffer from vacation withdrawal. It would take few days to come back to the routine, and you eventually will. Here are eleven ways you can combat the vacation withdrawal.

Take a days break after landing because unpacking would obviously take time. Joining immediately a day after will make your vacation withdrawal worst.

Gather all your vacation pictures and videos and put them on a big screen. Call your friends, family (people you went on a vacation with) and watch it with them.

Pictures on Facebook are fine, but remember that people dont want to see ten pictures of you sipping coffee at London Starbucks.

Nobody wants to hear about your skydiving in New Zealand for more than five minutes. Telling each and everybody you meet about the taste of the burger you ate at an eatery in London is not going to interest them because they werent there to experience. Thus, cutting it short to it was amayyyyzinggg would do the trick.

Youre no more holidaying in Ibiza. Youre back to the grind and youve got to accept it. Tell your friend to slap you everytime you start zoning out to your favourite place during the vacation.

Remember this you cant pay rent by daydreaming and ranting about how the routine sucks. So, youve got to come back to reality and do what youve got to do.

Your mailbox would be flooded with mails in your absence. The best way to deal with them is to let the entire mailbox load and then start replying to the oldest mail first.

Since we travel to return with a fresh perspective and newfound energy, document all good things that the vacation made you realise. Whether it was a nice hour or two of mountain climbing or a tasty meal at a restaurant, write about it and be thankful that you were able to experience it.

Let your vacation be a source of inspiration for you. Derive positivity and put it in your routine, it will ensure there wont be a dull moment for you.
global
All that useful information about your itinerary should be passed on to others who would be taking a vacation at the same place too.

To fight the vacation blues, start planning your next vacation. Fix the destination; start reading on it, and book tickets way ahead for good deals.
