Are you facing trouble to get through with the dullness this summer or you just completed watching your favourite TV series and now thinking what’s next, then my buddy you’re stuck in the boredom station! Vacations are not always about lazing around in your favoured PJ’s and eating a considerable amount of junk, let’s be contrasting this summer and beat the heat. You always have to keep in mind not to do things that’ll escalate your sluggishness…Let me be your guide

So I’ve come up with 10 things you should not do during vacations.

 1. Avoid Naps During Day Time

The worst part of a boring vacation is during daytime when you feel lethargic enough to sleep it out. That’s exactly where we go wrong, why we can’t be productive. Bring out that favourite white shirt of yours, and why not paint it! Maybe arranging your wardrobe or colouring your darling pillow cover can be a getaway from the insanely uneventful afternoons.

 2. Say No to Caffeine

 Are you a coffee lover? Well, the generation z is undoubtedly big-time caffeine addicted; I know this for real because I’m one of them. Every single day starts with a large cup of coffee! The point is to be rocker enough to say no to caffeine and enjoying trying out some refreshing mocktails and smoothies this summer. This will captivate your senses and may help you to strengthen your alertness. Caffeine can act as a psychoactive drug which can negatively impact our health.  Remember not to do things that make you feel inactive.

 3. Beat The Smartphone Addiction

 4. Avoid Being inside All The Time

Don’t you get bored being sheltered 24hours a day during vacations? We always require changes to spend guilt-free lazy times out of the room too…Meet as many people as you like, catch-up with an old bunch of friends over a glass of wine. Visit a park or museum nearby! Because you need not do things that might boost your laziness every day. 

 5. Do Not Spend Too Much Time in Bed

Vacations are all about relaxing the mind, body and soul. Perhaps sometimes the extension of this happy time makes you inert, it leads you to think about the problem that doesn’t even exist in the first place. Spending too much time on the bed may increase the turning and worry about sleep. Try reducing the amount of time you spend on the bed. The biggest reason behind a lazy vacation is being in bed almost all the time, here are little tips to avoid ending up in your so call stress free state of mind.

• Keep a record of your sleep routine.
• Do not use the phone while lying on the bed.
• Set reminders and alarms before starting an activity.
• Avoid having meals in bed.
• Walk and talk.
• Do some activity as soon as you start feeling sleepy.

 6. Don’t Undertake Official Work

Most of the time during vacations we get stuck with our official calls, emails and other pending projects. Stop it at once, vacations call for being strikingly active and creative! It is that stress-free time of the year which has to be all about you. Chilling, stepping out on a road trip or beach sidewalk is best to get away from work. Take out time to prepare a ‘to do’ list this summer. Remember not to attend any official calls while doing your activities. Try painting or sketching, planting and cooking, joining a dance class or learning a new instrument or maybe a new language this summer.
