Take a look at this advice to see if it inspires you to have your own staycation.
Be A Tourist In Your Own City
A staycation should be all about breaking away from your regular old routine. Instead of just doing the things you usually do and going to the same places, pretend you are coming to your city for the first time. Are there any nearby cultural attractions that you have never visited before? Are there any restaurants that have been highly recommended but you haven’t got round to visiting them? Now is your chance to try some new things, and learn a little bit more about the place you call home.
Follow Your Passions
We all know how work can dominate your life. When you get home after a hard day, sometimes you just want to crash out on the sofa in front of the TV. A staycation gives you that much needed opportunity for rejuvenation, so you have the energy to try the things you are passionate about. You could go to the theatre and look for whats on Saint Annes. If you have a book that’s been sitting on your bedside table for months on end, now is your time to read it. If you’d like to improve your skills in the kitchen, now is your chance to do so. If you can look back at your staycation and say you’ve accomplished something, it will feel even better.
Treat Yourself
Remember, this is your time to really enjoy yourself. If you love shopping, now may be the time to go on that shopping spree that you have been putting off. With so many discounts and offers available online, this doesn’t have to break the bank. Why not head down to your local spa for a pampering session? For a cheaper alternative, buy some scented candles and bath salts to bring the spa to you.
Get Active
A staycation is a great opportunity to kickstart a workout regime which may have fallen by the wayside. Try something different by getting involved in a new fitness class or taking up a new sport. Alternatively, start running again, but do it outdoors to give yourself a change of scenery. The good habits you build up during your staycation may well stay with you when it’s time to start working again.
