On vacation, one should recharge and rejuvenate: one should, but often the free time at home turns into an endless list of unfinished tasks.

How to truly and properly relax at home during your vacation, we will reveal to you below.

What type of holidaymaker are you?

This is a question one should ideally ask right at the beginning: Do you even want to travel or would you rather stay at home? Do you want to immerse yourself in nature or are you the active city trip type who needs a lot of art and culture to recharge? If you haven't clarified this question at the start, it will probably not lead to a relaxation effect.

What self-time do you need?

Anyone looking for relaxation in their own four walls should save plenty of time for what is known as Me-Time: This I-time is extremely important and should be used solely to focus on yourselves. Here, you can do what feels good to you – whether it's reading, meditating, or gardening. Optimal stress relief is guaranteed during this Me-Time.

Set aside enough time for it, turn off your phone, and possibly also silence the ringtone.

What is healthy for you?

Health and recovery go hand in hand, and of course, you can also do some meaningful things on vacation that are good for body and soul. Above all, these five health-promoting activities have proven to be effective:

1. 1. Strengthening the back muscles: Many exercises for this can be done at home with little effort, such as dry swimming.
   2. Strengthening Mobility: Exercises can be used to train the flexibility of the neck area.
   3. Measures for healthy feet: We hardly pay attention to our important feet in everyday life, so treat them to a foot bath or a foot reflexology massage.
   4. start endurance sports like cycling or jogging
   5. and use relaxation techniques such as yoga
