So, it’s Easter this weekend. And for most of us that means four days off. And chocolate. But, like the sugar-high from eating chocolate eggs, rabbits, bilbies, anything as long as it’s chocolate, the post-holiday vim is over all too soon. The following Monday it’s business as usual and it feels like a year since you had a holiday.

Life coach Kate James says: ‘One reason for people losing their holiday mojo so quickly is because they undertake a holiday that doesn't fulfil them personally. People should consider destinations that offer interactive holiday experiences such as being outdoors and in wide open spaces.’

Another option is to make a holiday out of staying at home. Says James: ‘baton down the hatches. Don't see anyone, just do all the things that feel like they are restful for you.’ And why not send your friends postcards from home, visit tourist attractions that you’re curious about (say Eureka’s viewing platform, Young & Jackson’s) or take a train to a suburb you’ve never been to and explore. (Tip: if you’ve never been to Box Hill, it’s busting with great Asian eateries.)
