Cut Down Time On Your Devices And Enjoy Vacation With Your Partner - Club Med Singapore

1. Cut down time on your devices

We have different reasons for worrying, which can be related to work, family, friends, et cetera. While on vacation, the best way to truly enjoy the moment is to cut down on screen time. Your phone is the most important link to cut off. You would not want to get work-related notifications that distract you from the present. If you wish to take pictures and upload them to social media, try having a designated time to take pictures, possibly after the activity is done. Try to make the most out of your time with your partner by focusing your attention on him or her and what is happening at that moment. To illustrate, if you and your partner find yourselves at a beach, try to clear your mind and enjoy the situation using all your senses. Feel the breeze, look at the waves, and listen to the sound of the waves crashing, this would be the perfect time to also express your feelings to your partner, linking this pleasant moment to a strong conversation with your partner.

2. Have a plan laid out

Being in a relationship, each party has to deal with their fair share of compromise. Engaging in activities that your partner enjoys may not directly bring you happiness, however, when you take their desires into consideration and make an effort to participate in them, it can create a unique and meaningful bond between the two of you. Try not to be the only one contributing to the itinerary, instead have a blend of things you both enjoy and try doing things outside of your comfort zones as well. That new activity might become something you both enjoy together.

You do not want to end up more drained than you were before your vacation. Overplanning could lead to rushing special moments; instead, try to make your schedule as flexible as possible. It’s completely fine to cancel plans and instead have some quality time to yourselves without doing anything, because sometimes even doing nothing is doing something.

Relating to the first point, people experience the moment in more than one way. People tend to have a strong sense of nostalgia when finding a familiar smell dating back to their childhood.

Think of your vacation playlist as a means of transporting yourself back to a special moment.
