Vacations are super fun and relaxing. However, the trip, not so much. Spending long hours at airports or bust stations and changing transportation while dragging our luggage can be exhausting. Since chances are you have to go back to our normal routine fast, it is good to have a ritual which will help you unwind after the trip. Here are some examples of how to do that efficiently.
Have a nice, long bath
After a long trip and hours spent on the airplane, bus or a car, you will probably pick up a lot of dirt. Taking a long, relaxing bath or shower will help you get clean again, and will also relax you. You can make a whole event out of it. Use bath bombs, play some music, and just stay there for a while. Once you get in clean clothes and you feel fresh and energized, it is time to do everything else.
Catch up on sleep
You are probably tired, and you were uncomfortable during the trip, so the best thing you can do is just sleep. Shut down the blinds, take new, clean sheets, get your most comfortable pillows, and just rest. You can play a movie or your favorite series, or read a book before going to sleep to relax you even more. The goal is to forget about every obligation and task that awaits because you have to get your energy back to be able to do anything. Turn off your phone so that no one can disturb you.
Have a spa session
Once you wake up and feel good and rested, you can treat your face and body with a spa session. Create a whole atmosphere, play some relaxing music, dig into your candle supplies, and get your favorite one to complete the feeling. Exfoliating will help you get all the dirt and dead cells off your face, and moisturizing sheet masks will give it extra hydration it needs. Use your finest serums and creams because it will not only make your skin radiant and fresh, but the whole process will make you feel relaxed and positive. Another good tip is to get cooling undereye patches, which will help you get rid of puffiness and undereye bags. You can also do your nails, or treat yourself with a professional manicure.
Give your body a boost
A change of location, traveling, and irregular sleeping patterns can affect your health, especially if you have a weak immune system. That is why it is important to establish a healthy diet and take more vitamins. Besides regenerating your body, they will also make you feel less tired and more ready to go back to your normal days. Vitamin B12, Iron, or creatine can all be significant in giving you back your energy. However, if you need to boost your body in a different way, you could consider looking for other supplements or even creating your own by contacting a company that offers dietary supplement manufacturing. They could help you to create supplements that meet your requirements. That could improve your health and give your body a boost after traveling.
Relax for a while
Although being lazy for too long is not good advice, fill your batteries by just relaxing for a few days. Sit at home and read a book, book a massage, or try some mindful exercises like yoga or meditation. There will be plenty of time to do your work and be busy, so take a couple of days to get used to your home again and be even more ready for everything you have to do. Try long walks, do anything you enjoy, maybe try some weed concentrates and relax your mind.
Our bodies can hold on for some time, but before testing our limits, it’s a good idea to give it some time to rest and go back to its normal state, especially after a trip. These steps are easy, and you can do them at home, they don’t require much money or time, so try them out and then continue with your normal routine. Your body and mind will thank you.
Thanks for these lovely tips. I think catching on some sleep would be my favorite 🙂
I always want to relax and rest when I first get home. My husband, though, wants to empty the suitcases and get the laundry started. He wears me out. 🙂
Good useful tips. I find a good hot shower with aromatic bath gel helps to refresh the body, and yes with huge time difference sleep helps. During long journeys especially on flights I find taking a quick shower if lounges offer the facility invigorating.
These are such useful tips! As someone who travels a lot, I’m constantly trying to find better ways to improve my adjustment back into the swing of things back home, between trips.
These are so true! I was just talking about how I often need a vacation from my vacation. Great tips.
Great ideas, I often need another vacation after my trips lol although when it comes to recovering nothing beats a relaxing SPA experience for me!
Baths help so much. They seem to help unwind anything. Glad it made your list.
After trips I feel like I need a vacation from the vacation! I never thought about going to a spa after. I usually just sleep and not get out of bed for a couple of days. I take multi vitamins because my system is usually out of wack.
I feel the same way. I need to transition from vacation back to my previous life!
I usually sleep or take a long nice bath to unwind. Some trip can be quite stressful so it’s nice to know thing that can help you unwind.

Unwinding is my favorite part of a long trip. The journey is over and R&R begins!
A long bath and a lot of sleep are two things I love when I get back from a trip. They’re a great way to get reset for the rest of life.
Great tips! Unless our kids are wore out from the trip (most of our travels are with the kids), a great nap is in order. If they’re not, then sleep will have to wait!

After a long trip, all I want is to have a nice, long, bath. A relaxing soak in the tub with my a few drops of my favorite essential oil.
