Tool, Tip and Quote: Try a Staycation!

A staycation is a break from day-to-day demands. It’s a time purposefully spent on leisure while remaining at home or around your town. Staycations are meant to be a mini-holiday during which you can escape from your everyday routine. They also help you save money from bigger trips, while still providing that vacation feel.

A Tip.

Take a daily vacation! Have you gone on a vacation recently? Well, the answer lies in how much you treasure the good times. Perhaps you understand the importance of a holiday but rarely go on one. The truth is that you aren’t the only one. Many of us tend to focus more on our jobs and livelihood at the expense of unique trips. The outcome is depriving yourself of some important things in life, such as experiencing a vacation.

Surprisingly, some of those who acknowledge a vacation’s importance don’t take them often. They’re probably engrossed in the old-school mentality that vacations should only be taken once or twice a year. But this doesn’t have to be the case when staycations are an option.

You can take numerous vacations in a year and enjoy some of them right at home. Vacation doesn’t necessarily have to be a big trip or a well-planned outing. It’s all about a break from your regular routine to relax the mind, body, and soul.

A staycation can be as simple as turning your phone off for a few hours and enjoying some time unplugged. This will give you a personal space to focus on yourself and the things that matter to you. Self-evaluation is one of the greatest forms of self-rejuvenation and can help you embrace life from the positive side.

Leaving from work early for movie nights, date nights, or evening walks can also be a form of a staycation. You’re simply changing up your day to spice up your tomorrow. If possible, consider taking a whole day off and treat yourself and your family to a spur-of-the-moment day out. You and your loved ones will be energized and always remember that fun day. Benefits galore!

 A Tool.  

Create a separate bank account purely dedicated to staycations. Start making small deposits here and there that won’t eat into your budget. Even if it’s as low as $20 to $50, make your deposits consistent.

Soon enough, without even realizing it, you’ll have sufficient money to spend on a staycation. Additionally, it won’t feel like an expense because the money is separate from normal costs. The key is to stay committed. Don’t fail to save, and also don’t be tempted to use the money for other reasons besides your staycation.

If you don’t have staycation ideas, don’t worry! Here are a few: cooking classes, couple massages, museum days, a fancy restaurant, a spa day, check-in to the local pool, or a picnic in the park. The list is endless; just think of the stuff you don’t usually do at home that you’ve always wanted to!
