In this episode, Jamie, Avery, and Lucy talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of vacationing. We briefly discuss the differences in vacation policy between the U.S. and other countries, share some of our own vacation plans, and talk about all the stressors associated with planning, traveling, and being on vacation. We then talk about post-vacation depression and share tips on how to minimize stress so that you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest.

Do Try This At Home:

• If possible, plan a transition period before and after your vacation so that you are less pressured when returning to your normal routine.
• Plan future trips to have something to look forward to.
• Set an intention, rather than an expectation, regarding your vacation to be more present.
