The staycation concept gained popularity amid the pandemic when travel came to a screeching halt. People were forced to stay at home and holidays were pass\u00e9. Traveling was not safe<\/a>, and there were endless restrictions.<\/p>\n Moreover, spending money on vacations was not feasible due to pay cuts and tight finances. Staycations brought respite for travel buffs yearning for a change as they gave the feeling of being on a vacation without even stepping out.<\/p>\n Even as the virus is under control, people love the idea because it is more affordable and less stressful. You can take a break whenever you want, and there is no need to plan and budget for a holiday<\/a> at home. Conversely, a lot goes into making a staycation enjoyable because you have to think innovatively to break the monotony.<\/p>\n After all, you have to convince yourself that you are on a real holiday.<\/p>\n Before picking ideas for your next staycation, commit to unplugging throughout the break. After a couple of years of WFH, it is probably the most unimaginable thing to do. You will probably be habitual to answering work emails or calls even outside office hours.<\/p>\n But make sure you take a real break this season.<\/p>\n Let colleagues and clients know you are away and resist the urge to answer every message. Take the break as an opportunity to restore work-life balance<\/a> again. Everyone needs to do it in the new normal, and this is the chance to take the first step.<\/p>\n A vacation ambiance is an essential element of a staycation to get the feel of a holiday. After all, you must feel you are in a different location rather than your living space.<\/p>\n Thankfully, you need not invest much effort and money to get a makeover for your home<\/a>. Try to change the setting by taking the rugs out of your living room.<\/p>\n You may even move to the guest room or set up a tent in the backyard. Try to create a new look and feel for your living space. Set the dining table on the deck to relish outdoor meals and enjoy romantic evenings under the stars.<\/p>\n Hang a hammock outdoors and bring some chairs to the garden. You may even hang some fairy lights on the trees to create a beautiful outdoor space.<\/p>\n Holidays are all about relaxation, whether you plan a break in a luxury resort overseas or your bedroom. Have your favorite relaxation aids at hand to indulge in self-care during the staycation.<\/p>\n Get started with the books and music you love. Stock up on aromatherapy essentials<\/a> and buy or borrow a massager.<\/p>\n If you are a cannabis lover, pamper yourself with a new strain or consumption method. Try the banana hammock strain to experience a tropical vacation vibe right in your living room. You will love its incredible flavor and mellow high that promise a day of leisure.<\/p>\n Play your favorite music, read books, and catch up on your sleep.<\/p>\n You can take staycation relaxation a notch higher by taking a yoga retreat in your living room. Do not worry if you are a beginner because there are plenty of videos online to guide you with the basic poses<\/a>.<\/p>\n You need not opt for the complex ones as a beginner. Try some simple restorative yoga poses to relax your muscles and release the stress from your mind.<\/p>\n A yoga mat is a small investment for the sessions, though you can manage with an old rug too. Have your comfy athleisure clothing ready, and indulge in daily sessions of yoga every morning and evening. You will be a happier and healthier version<\/a> of yourself at the end of the break.<\/p>\n Experiencing the true vacation vibes at home is about changing things up.
