No one ever wants the holiday to end, especially when they have spent some time at Marine Holiday Park. It’s therefore perfectly natural to feel a little glum as you make the return to the reality of everyday life.

However, it doesn’t have to be this way. There are plenty of things you can do to beat off the holiday blues and we’ve put together a few tips highlighting the tactics you can employ to make your return home that little more bearable.

Let’s start off with the most obvious one…

Plan Your Next Holiday

If you’ve had a grand time on your break in North Wales, then the thought of not knowing when you will be going back can be a little depressing. The constant 9-5 work pattern with no obvious interval is certainly something that none of us like the thought of.

So why not plan your next holiday in Rhyl right now? Find a date with availability at Marine Holiday Park in your chosen accommodation and make your booking right now. This means you can begin the countdown to your next getaway, safe in the knowledge that there is a light at the end of the 9-5 tunnel.

Meet Friends & Family

Perhaps the only drawback about holidays is that we can’t take all of our friends and family with us on the trip. 

So why not arrange to meet up with your nearest and dearest on your return home? Get in touch and agree on a date for a meal out or even an activity close to home. You can go and see the latest must see movie in the cinema, meet up for a game of badminton at your local leisure centre or do something fun like having a day out at a theme park. 

Anything that helps to break up the usual 9-5 routine is a sure fire way to beat off those post-holiday blues.

Get Active

Holidays are all about indulgence. Sadly, this often results in us putting on a few pounds during our time away from home. This is especially true for any holiday makers who have spent time at Marine Holiday Park where we have our own ice cream parlour and burger takeaway restaurant in Rhyl. 

The thought of getting active and completing some exercise might not automatically seem like the solution to your post holiday blues, but physical exercise has been shown to release endorphins. These are natural brain chemicals that can improve your mood and sense of well-being. Not only will they improve your mood, but they can also help you better deal with stress and even physical aches and pains.

Practice Mindfulness and Meditation

A great way to deal with a low mood is to practise mindfulness. There are various ways to carry this out, with possible options including:

• Breathing - Being aware of your breath without judgement can help you stay in the present moment, improve your mood, and feel less distracted
• Meditation - Meditation is a practice which predates the notion of meditation. It can help you relax, reduce stress and generally improve your health. Possible options include visual meditation where you focus on one object and concentrate all your energy on that object. Alternatively, you could try mantra meditation where you repeat an encouraging phrase out loud or in your own head. This helps to take your mind off the problems that are causing your low mood.
• Gratitude - Think about the things you are grateful for. Perhaps you are grateful for the wonderful holiday you have had at Marine Holiday Park or a particular memory from the holiday that you cherish.

Consider Holiday Home Ownership

While we have discussed the option of booking another holiday at Marine Holiday Park so that you have something to look forward to in the future, you might also want to consider holiday home ownership at our resort.
