Post vacation life is hard. Getting back into a normal routine has been a struggle. My mind is still on holiday. To think it was all good just a week ago. A week ago, I was living my best life and now I am back into the routine of work/bills. This was the first vacation where I did not want to go home. To be mentally detached from all expectations felt amazing!

For me, getting back into my routine made me realize there are some things I need to change. For post-vacation to affect me in this way, this lets me know my day-to-day routine ain’t working. I’ve been having thoughts about living internationally or how to live without working (true thoughts of a millennial).

According to Crockford (2019), coming back from a vacation can cause disinterest and decrease motivation and emotion levels. ->This is exactly how I feel. I don’t feel like doing anything. I’m jet lagged and need time to nurture my Pisces soul. My plan is to work through my feelings while changing what makes me discontent. In working through what I feel, I will be mindful in doing things “The Bali Way”. I’ll explain more about “The Bali Way” in another post.
