How to create holiday mood at home

In autumn the temperature drops, but who said that our mood should fall along with the thermometer? A few simple tips will help you translate summer ideas into reality despite the season change. And remember: the atmosphere of vacation can (and need to) recreate even at home.
Each of you is familiar with the feeling of incredible spiritual uplift, accompanying a good vacation. In the mornings you wake up energetic, rested and full of inspiration. Grandiose plans are crowded in your head and seem absolutely realizable: "When I get home, I'll manage a blog," "With my husband we will regularly get out on dates," "And I'll get a raise."

The problem is that behind the front door of your native apartment you are usually met not by an ocean of possibilities, but by a mountain of non-washed laundry and dozens of unresolved household matters. What a big blog, if the boss has already sent three e-mails with the requirement to rewrite the final report. And it starts to get dark early. And now there is no trace of the summer energy ...

To resist the fall and routine is useless, we think, and with regret we put plans on the back shelf of the cabinet, where frivolous sarafans and straw hats are already waiting for next summer. However, it is not necessary to do this. The positive attitude, the beneficial effect of which we feel during warm days, is connected not only and not so much with the exotic nature of the environment and the holiday atmosphere, but rather with the right inner feeling that you can recreate at home. These simple and guaranteed fun tips will help you to believe that vacation is a state of mind, and summer dreams can turn into very real autumn achievements!

If you lack creativity, here's what you can do ...
The flow of new experiences is the key to creativity, so any, even a short trip, makes us want to start to make travel notes or buy an album and make sketches, or fantasize about the unusual recipe. Do not let the flow of your creative ideas run out! To inspiration did not leave you in the city, try the following:

Walk a long way
Avoid familiar trails that lead you to a boutique, gym or grocery store. Collapse from a well-groomed or drenched road and force yourself to consciously pay attention to the surrounding details. Fix all the interesting things with the help of special applications for the smartphone - shoot photos and videos, slander the short texts. Advertising with ironic overtones, bright rubber boots on someone or even a picturesque mountain of fallen leaves can inspire you to a poem, blog entry or script creation.

Get enough sleep
One of the reasons why you are so giddy on a vacation is that, in the absence of work, the Internet, traffic jams and other troubles, you sleep much more (well, or should at least). During sleep, your brain is busily and deliberately dealing with the information received for the day, sometimes forming very original connections. If we imagine the consciousness of a person in the form of an old-fashioned file cabinet like the library one, then all the leaves and paper cartons will be laid out in perfect order in the wakeful, and the sleeper will be mixed in that coveted creative disorder that generates all the ingenious. If you are stuck in a creative dead end, clearly formulate the task ("I'm looking for a memorable name for my online store!"), And then go to the side. There are chances to wake up with a ready solution to the problem!

If you do not have enough energy and dedication, that's what it's time to do ...

Focus on "here and now"
The rustle of the waves, the view of the mountains, the running of the clouds - on holiday the beauty of the surrounding nature sets us on a contemplative harmony and helps to clear the mind of doubts and anxieties. The latest data demonstrate a direct link between conscious meditation and the activity of the brain regions responsible for the most difficult tasks. You can meditate wherever you like, even walking along the streets-for this every time, dropping your right foot on the sidewalk, mentally say "right", and repeat the same with the left. Do not be distracted by passers-by and puddles. You can even consciously wash dishes. Not allowing the acquired automaticity of movements to transfer you to hell from "here and now." By concentrating on the present, you can disconnect from external stimuli and get rid of unproductive thoughts.

Log off the network
On vacation, we do not want to check the mail every ten minutes. And in the information vacuum so well rests! For one evening a week, say a decided "no" to everything that has a screen, and devote this time to table games with family, cleaning, creativity. Do not forget to note how much better you will feel in the morning.

Breathe in full
Smells of fresh greens strengthen our ability to concentrate. And floral scents can improve the speed of perception of new information by 17%. Since everything has already blossomed in nature, use the wonders of perfumery: put a couple of drops of flower essences on your wrist and take a deep breath.

Lain for the good of the cause
Shock labor for forty-five minutes with regular 15-minute breaks to "reset" will allow you to maintain a high level of productivity until the evening. This is the conclusion reached by researchers from Columbia University. So now you can work and be lazy!

If you do not have enough passion, that's what you need to do ...

Explore the space
They thought: on vacation, a huge bed and starched sheets attracted us much more than TV, recalling well-forgotten pleasures, among which sleep is on the last place ... The secret of the attractiveness of hotel sex is in its novelty, but it can be repeated at home! Ignore the bedroom, explore the possibilities of the bathroom, living room, corridor or hallway. We are winding up the unknown, so try to turn even the most peaceful evening into a real adventure, and reward you will have an unforgettable sex.

Express your feelings
On vacation, you always notice (and note) the skills of your partner, whether it is a gift to navigate in a huge city without a card or the ability to negotiate a discount even with an unpleasant seller. So what prevents you from looking at your loved one in a new home and expressing your admiration to him? Recent studies have established that couples who daily record everything they are thankful for each other feel more united and happier. Therefore, every day you tell your beloved at least three pleasant things, even trite, for example: "How nice of you to make me tea." See, he will repay you the same.

Let him "steer"
Make an ideal day and let the partner decide for himself how he would like to spend it (something like discussing the program for a day at breakfast on vacation). With a willingness to accept any plan, even a daily marathon watching the series about space cowboys or a completely different marathon, which in cinemas would be marked as "18+". This will allow both of you to shake up a little, and your loved one will realize that you appreciate and respect his desires.

Have dinner in bed
Room service is perhaps one of the biggest vacation treats. However, sometimes it is enough to pretend that you are in a posh hotel, so that the romance of the situation captures you - even if you are at home. Spread freshly-ironed linen, light candles, put flowers in the vase, order food from your favorite restaurant, and you will get a feeling of luxury, like in a five-star hotel ... Bonus: you do not need to give anyone a tip.

Sleep naked
Do you remember your first love well? Most likely, the lucky guy did not even suspect that you have pajamas, since you have never seen her. If you want to take your sex life to a new level, you should get into the habit of sleeping naked. Absence of pajamas on you sends the right signals to the man: the skin's touch to the skin is read unmistakably as a sign of passion and sensuality.
