Apply these five strategies to disconnect from work \u2014 so that you can actually enjoy your wellness vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-complete-all-work-assignments\">1. Complete All Work Assignments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a no-brainer that if you have unfinished assignments at work, your mind won&#8217;t let you relax. That nagging voice will keep reminding&nbsp; you about the work that&#8217;s waiting once you come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do your best to clear your work schedule. Doing this will help you keep your mind off of work-related issues&nbsp; and remove any pressure you may be feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-notify-your-colleagues\">2. Notify Your Colleagues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you&#8217;re having the time of your life\u2014luxuriating in spa treatments, lounging by the pool, indulging in delicious food. You subconsciously peer at your phone and see loads of  work-related emails.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, you decide not to open them. Then, you take a peek just to see if it&#8217;s urgent. Before you know it, you&#8217;re answering emails and making phone calls when you should be pampering yourself instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this from happening, we suggest you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>announce your vacation in advance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>notify your superiors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>notify your colleagues and ask them to respect your time away<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>inform any clients that might try to reach you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>come up with a clever out-of-office message<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you set boundaries in advance, colleagues and clients are more willing to respect your free time and leave you be. With no work-related emails or phone calls, there won&#8217;t be any reason to think about the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"11388\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1920,h_1280,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297385\/magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"disconnect from work and enjoy your wellness vacation by unplugging\" class=\"wp-post-11378 wp-image-11388\" data-format=\"webp\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1652297385\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297385\/magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg?_i=AA 1920w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297385\/magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_683,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297385\/magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297385\/magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1024,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297385\/magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_800,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297385\/magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_960,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297385\/magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297385\/magazine\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541\/disconnect-from-work-and-enjoy-your-wellness-vacation-shutterstock_675630541.jpg?_i=AA 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-stop-checking-in\">3. Stop Checking-In<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want colleagues and clients to let you enjoy your vacation, you shouldn&#8217;t give them any reason to reach out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re not saying to commit to a digital detox but do your best to stay in the present moment rather than stay connected to the non-vacation you. The more you post and check-in, the more you&#8217;ll:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>spend time checking your phone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>spend time answering messages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>learn about things back at work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>disconnect from your vacation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Use this time to disconnect from work and enjoy your wellness vacation. Explore activities you don&#8217;t have the chance to with your 9-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-embrace-nature\">4. Embrace Nature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <em>Yale Environment<\/em>, nature benefits us in many ways and is a &#8220;<em>have-to-have for physical health and cognitive function.&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more time you spend outdoors hiking, cycling, surfing or rafting, the less likely you&#8217;ll deal with work FOMO. You know, that feeling like you need to know what&#8217;s happening at work and what your colleagues are doing without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nature also has a calming effect on our minds and helps us clear our heads. Try to&nbsp; appreciate \u201cbeing\u201d in the moment. Watch the tide roll in or watch a waterfall cascade down a cliff. Find a soothing rhythm for your mind to release.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"11386\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1920,h_1280,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297381\/magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"friends surfing in costa rica\" class=\"wp-post-11378 wp-image-11386\" data-format=\"webp\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1652297381\" data-seo=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297381\/magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg?_i=AA 1920w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297381\/magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_683,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297381\/magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297381\/magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1024,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297381\/magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_800,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297381\/magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_960,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297381\/magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1652297381\/magazine\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica\/friends-surfing-in-costa-rica.jpg?_i=AA 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-get-social\">5.
