This vacation has been an amazing one, a vacation spent in exploring beautiful regions and islands. I spent an incredible vacation recharging, and I'm ready to give the remaining of the year my all! So no, I don't have post-vacation blues, but it seems like everyone else does.

All I see is people posting on social media about how unhappy they are to be coming back to their everyday life. Going back to their “routines" makes them sad.

But we need to analyze this a bit more. Sure, who doesn't like vacations? But the whole concept that “vacations are great" and “regular life sucks" is so bad! Because if you don't like your regular life, it means that you're spending 70% of your life doing something you don't like, and the remaining trying to recharge to face that 70% of your life. It's not sustainable.

When I went on the press trip to Ischia, I met so many food and travel bloggers, but guess what, they are all either in university or working full time jobs! They found the time to create something they are enthusiastic about! It's never too late to change that routine you so desperately want to get rid of. Sure, it takes a bit of investment initially, but when you come home after doing something you love, I assure you, it won't even feel like you've overworked!

Don't get me wrong, swimming in clear waters is better than sitting in an office. But what if you were working towards something bigger? A project? Something creative? Wouldn't you feel more motivated to get back and work on it? Post-vacation blues are normal, but let's not make vacations the only thing we're looking forward to in life! Your everyday life can be amazing too. You just have to take a few steps towards making it so. The first thing to do is to overcome the blues.
