Summer vacations are the most awaited period of the year by everyone. It allows you to rest, get strength for the whole year, relax and be with your family and friends.
Dr. Farrera Sabioncello, specialist in Psychology and member of Top Doctors, states that it is possible that during the vacations conflictive situations may appear that throughout the year, due to work routines and daily chores, remain hidden.
Tips to avoid conflicts during the vacations
– Do not idealize the vacations: perhaps not all the initial expectations will be fulfilled.
– There are margins of error in everything. Accept the setbacks that may arise.
– Be flexible in the face of changes. It is necessary to know how to modify the plans according to the interests that arise.
– Leave space and time for the development of individual activities.
– Respect the space of other family members, including children.
– Remember that parents need to be alone without their children and children without their parents.
– Promote intimacy: leave space and time to enjoy the couple.
– Increase couple communication.
– Restart good habits. Vacations are a good time to resume habits such as physical exercise, a balanced diet, quitting smoking…
If these tips are taken into account, it will be easier to cope with the well-known post-holiday depression syndrome when returning from vacation.
