VACATION IS SUPPOSED TO BE “REJUVENATING,” BUT INSTEAD OF HOPPING OFF TO WORK
WITH THAT POST-VACATION GLOW, YOU’RE FEELING MORE TIRED THAN EVER. WHY, AFTER
SUPPOSEDLY “RESTING,” DO YOU FEEL POST-VACATION DEPRESSION? ACCORDING TO
EXPERTS, IT’S NOT ONLY WHAT YOU DO ON VACATION, BUT HOW YOU DO IT THAT CAN MAKE
YOU FEEL CRAPPY WHEN YOU GET BACK. ESPECIALLY IF THIS IS ONE OF YOUR FIRST TIMES
TRAVELING OR VACATIONING SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC, IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO
BE MORE DELIBERATE ABOUT YOUR REENTRANCE TO EVERYDAY LIFE TO AVOID FEELING
AWFUL.

TIPS AND TRICKS
NEED TO CALM DOWN? GROUND YOURSELF WITH YOUR FIVE SENSES
USING YOUR FIVE SENSES IS ANOTHER SIMPLE-BUT-IMPACTFUL WAY TO REMIND YOUR
NERVOUS SYSTEM THAT, IN SPITE OF THE SURROUNDING STRESSORS, YOUR BODY DOESN’T
NEED TO FIRE ON ALL CYLINDERS. MOLLY DUTTER-ANSARI, PH.D., SAYS ENGAGING EACH OF
YOUR FIVE SENSES CAN BRING YOUR BODY BACK TO THE PRESENT MOMENT, WHERE IT’S
EASIER TO SEE REALITY FOR WHAT IT IS (AND MAKE LOGICAL DECISIONS INSTEAD OF
FREAKING OUT).
DUTTER-ANSARI SUGGESTS A SIMPLE EXERCISE WHERE YOU NAME ONE THING YOU CAN SEE,
SMELL, TOUCH, TASTE, AND HEAR. “TAKE A SECOND OR TWO AND ENGAGE EACH SENSE,” SHE
SAYS. WHILE YOU’RE AT IT, TAKE A FEW DEEP BREATHS. AS YOU BECOME MORE AWARE OF
YOUR SURROUNDINGS, YOUR BODY SHOULD GET THE MESSAGE THAT THE SITUATION’S NOT AS
DIRE AS YOU THOUGHT — AND YOU’LL FIND IT EASIER TO TALK YOURSELF OUT OF THE
STRESS.
