"To recapture that holiday feeling, think back to the best times you had on holiday and what made them so important for you - what was the value there?

"For example, you may have enjoyed exploring a new city (it gave you a sense of adventure/freedom), you may be missing lying by the pool reading (you got me-time/being engrossed) or you may have wanted to walk for ever along the cliffs (you felt energised/a part of nature).

"Let's say you're missing freedom: where could you find that same feeling of freedom now? Through running? By going to the cinema? By visiting a new area near you every weekend? Once you've found that value you discovered on holiday, see how you can incorporate it into your regular life."
