The Secret to Feeling Like You’re Always on Vacation (Even When You’re Not)

Living in ‘Holiday Mode’ Every Day Isn’t Just a Dream

Let’s Dive In

The Vacation Trap

Let’s talk about a sneaky mindset many of us fall into: the constant “I’ll be happy when…” loop, where joy feels perpetually postponed until the next vacation, the next weekend, the next big break.

This “vacation trap” keeps us stuck in a future-focused mindset that disconnects us from the present — and from our own power. When you’re always waiting for that magical “holiday mode,” work can start to feel heavier, stress piles up, and life just drags.

But here’s the truth: joy doesn’t have to be a reward after productivity — it’s a fuel you create while you’re living your life. Breaking free from the “vacation trap” means reclaiming your power every day, even in the middle of the busiest weeks.

Why You Should

Romanticize Your Everyday

This isn’t about pretending everything is perfect or sugarcoating reality. It’s about choosing intentional appreciation — finding depth, beauty, and presence in the everyday. Romanticizing your life means turning ordinary routines into rituals of joy and self-respect. In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, this is your way of coming back to yourself.

Imagine slow breakfasts that feel like a mini brunch — avocado toast, pancakes, and a moment to savor no phone. Picture a walk in the garden, no rush, just you and your favorite playlist or a good book. Or treating your skincare routine like a calming ritual, or sipping iced coffee on your balcony and people-watching as though you were retired.

Here are 5 Simple Ways to Romanticize your August - No Flight Needed.

1 - Create a mini morning routine - Here is mine:

1. Wake up and resist grabbing your phone—stay silent for 3 minutes and let your brain gently wake up.

2. Head to the bathroom, look at yourself in the mirror—even disheveled—and say: “You are great, and so is this day.”

3. Have breakfast and truly savor the scent of your coffee, tea, or juice.

4. Before starting work, take a deep, grounding breath—set the tone for a focused, intentional day.

2 – Read outside in the sun
Soak in those natural vibes—even just 10 minutes during your morning or lunch break. Let the sunlight and words recharge you.

3 – Dress up for you
No special occasion needed. Dressing with intention gives your day a sense of momentum and quiet confidence.
It’s like shampooing your hair—you don’t feel it’s really clean until the foam shows up. That final step signals completion.
Getting dressed is the same: it’s a signal to your brain that you’re ready to show up for yourself and your day.

4 – Shift your scenery
If you’ve been indoors all day, take a long walk with your favorite playlist or podcast. Observe the sky, the trees, the people—it reconnects you to the world.
If you work outdoors, find a quiet spot and soak in the stillness. Let that grounded energy recalibrate you — perhaps with a cosy drink.

5 – Turn your to-do list into a “could-do” list
Give yourself permission to breathe. Sometimes all it takes is shifting from pressure to possibility—and suddenly, the day feels lighter, not heavier.

This mindset isn't about slowing down to stop. It's about training your mind to achieve a state of peace in your daily life. It's about slowing down to recharge. This allows you to come back stronger, more inspired and fully present.

Make Your’s Because

Slowing Down is a Power Move

You Create Your Energy

Slowing down isn’t always about stopping. For me, even busy moments like hitting the gym during rush hour feel energizing — especially when I’m not tied to a clock or deadlines. Slowing down is about honoring your energy, not just pausing it.

Here’s quote that’s stuck with me:

You can’t create or thrive without the right environment — and that includes space to breathe, recharge, and savor life. Many of us struggle with anxiety about the future or the guilt of ‘not being productive.’ This edition is your invitation to let those worries soften, and find strength in the present moment.

Whether you’re on vacation or not, the energy you choose creates the mood of your life — because Luxury isn’t bought—it’s designed through intention.

My Suggestion:

See the Movie Under the Tuscan Sun — a beautiful story about rediscovering joy, slowing down, and creating a life you love. Perfect for your “romanticize your life” mood.
