Whether you’re sipping pina coladas on sandy shores or enjoying mountain walking and cosy campfires, we often feel our best when we’re taking a break away from home. And with no alarm clocks or groaning to-do lists and that all-important R&R, it’s no surprise. Just returned and struggling with the post-holiday blues? Don’t worry, you can still enjoy a wellbeing boost when you’re at home – here’s how.
Free up your schedule
Do you constantly feel under pressure to say ‘yes’? Your people-pleasing ways could be impacting on your mental health. Overcommitting leads to you feeling overwhelmed and giving away your limited time and energy, causing stress levels to rise and resentment to foster. Saying ‘no’ helps you manage the demands of others, and leaves you feeling calmer and more in control. ‘If you find it hard to say no to someone’s face, tell them you’ll check your diary and get back to them. Explain that you’d like to help but don’t want to let anyone down as you are overcommitted,’ explains psychotherapist Juliet Grace.
