3 great ideas to make your staycation truly memorable

Daily life becomes more monotonous if one doesn’t take a break from it, as the constant running towards achieving a certain goal can be overwhelming at times. We need to travel every once in a while, in order to recharge ourselves and get a refreshing break. The idea is to stay content with whatever we do, and that only comes with the help of taking short breaks at least once in a while.

And taking breaks does not only mean taking long drawn vacations. Sometimes, due to circumstances such as nowadays, we may find it challenging to go to a far off place of our choice- which involves long road trips or flights. During times like these, you can make your own city a place that you want to explore again. Or maybe you can do things that you’ve got detached from, for a long time.

And there comes the idea of a staycation that mainly includes spending time with yourself or your close ones, and doing things that bring you pleasure. Staycations are easier to plan and also allow for more time to relax in hotel of your choice. Imagine not having to juggle between airlines, Visas, haggle with car rentals and hunt down the best places for your favourite cuisines on your next trip

Your staycation should be worth remembering, be it a solo vacation or quality time spend with your partner, or even with the family, the main focus is to be able to enjoy and have fun. In this article, we have listed out three great staycation ideas that will make your staycation truly memorable, so that you can get more zeal and enthusiasm to get back at work.

Plan your spa day

With features like a gorgeous view from the hotel lobby, swimming pool, rooftop bar, the vacations become automatically tempting. But when you've decided to keep it minimalistic and want to have all the fun by staying in the same city, there are limited options. For a successful staycation, comfort is all you need. You need to rejuvenate all the stress you've gained for working non-stop, you definitely need a spa room for that extra comfort. You can indulge in having neck massage or have a foot spa to get rid of stress. You can also make your own spa routine, use spa kits to indulge in self-care. Utilize the time to do your nails, have facial, moisturize with fancy oils, basically luxuriate. Pampering yourself is one of the must do things to do on a staycation in order to make it an ideal staycation. So, plan a spa day and bring all the necessary kits or maybe ask for someone's help for the ultimate relaxation you've been waiting for.

Play Games

In order to achieve certain goals, sometimes people miss out on things like playing with their kids or indulge in an activity together. Playing games together not only boosts your mood but also gives you a chance to get a little closer to your family. Plan an old fashioned game night where you can play the crossword puzzle, card games, or maybe poker with them. If you have kids, it's a great way to get in touch with their thoughts and get to know them more while playing. Another great idea of games is to indulge in DIYs, with the help of the internet, it is very easy to learn DIYs at home with things that are already available. This way, even kids get excited and end up learning new things. In order to teach them to acquire new good habits, a staycation is a perfect time to do that..

Movie shows

The hectic schedule might make your feel devastated at the end of the day, then you hardly feel like watching something on TV or Netflix. But while you've planned a staycation, you can catch up on your favourite show that you haven't been able to enjoy for quite a long time. And to amp up the experience, order room service! Grab your snacks, get comfortable in your pajamas, and binge-watch the new show people have been talking about.

These staycation ideas can never disappoint you from having the perfect staycation that you were waiting for. It is always a nice idea to pack up the bag and head to someplace for relaxation. But, sometimes factors like time and money don’t allow us to do that. And instead of getting upset over it, leave that stress to your office desk and ask for a few days off for a staycation in your city. Apart from all these activities, there are some other options like catching up on old habits like reading books, crafting, just generally spending more time engaging with your kids. This can make you feel relaxed and bring the nostalgia back. You can also visit the nearby places that you have not gone for a while, and act like a tourist in your own city. There are always aspects to look forward to if someone truly wants, so instead of just thinking about work, give yourself a little relaxation that will help you get your old enthusiasm back.

No matter where you are planning to go, it’s imperative to stay informed about the guidelines issued by various States and the Central Government. This is with regards to quarantine rules and other aspects so that you are prepared before-hand, giving you more confidence.
