Overcome Your Winter Blues by Planning a Getaway

Leanne Ammon


Winter can often feel long and dreary, leaving many of us feeling stuck in a rut with the winter blues. The days are shorter, and the cold weather can drain our enthusiasm as well as our energy. However, one effective way to help alleviate those feelings is to plan a trip or short break away. Whether you choose a nearby destination in the UK or venture further afield, a change of scenery can work wonders for your mood and your energy levels. Here are some tips on how to plan a memorable escape that will help lift your spirits.


1. What brings you joy?

Think about what your ideal getaway can bring you. If the goal is to lift your spirits, think about the activities that will help you do just that. A trip somewhere to paint? A new town or city to explore? Relaxing by reading on a beach or in a cosy cabin? Or immersing yourself in nature? Having a clear idea of what will help you get the most from your getaway will guide your planning process and keep your excitement building.


2. Set a Budget

Now think about how much you’re willing to spend. This will help to narrow down your options and ensure that your getaway is enjoyable without causing financial stress. Remember to consider all aspects, including travel, accommodation, food, and activities.



3. Decide when you want to travel

Consider the best times for travelling. Look for off-peak travel dates when prices may be lower and places aren’t so busy. A weekend or mid-week retreat can both offer a much needed break from the monotony of winter.



4. Focus on Relaxation

Make sure your getaway includes plenty of opportunities to relax. Whether it’s taking leisurely strolls, or enjoying a spa day, make relaxing a priority.



5. Be Open to New Experiences

Sometimes it’s the unexpected moments that can turn out to be the highlights of a holiday. Embrace the spontaneity in your days, whether it’s trying a new restaurant or exploring some new places of interest that catch your eye.


Planning a getaway is a great way to turn those winter blues away and rejuvenate your spirit. Remember to do what brings you joy, relax in the moment, and maybe even try something new. You’ll return home with a fresh perspective on the winter season. And Spring will be just around the corner.
