Taking an Instant Vacation

Challenge:
Do you ever feel like you can't take time to relax until your next vacation because you have too much to do?

Our lives can get so hectic that we're not aware of how stressed out we really are. Here are some telltale signs of stress: irritability, exhaustion, overwhelm, shortness of breath, headaches, backaches, digestive problems, muscular tension, use of food/drugs/alcohol to relax, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disorders.

Remedy:
You don't have to wait until your next vacation to relax. You can take a mini-vacation by doing little things to bring peace and calm into your life. This is where a little can go a long way. It might be listening to music that puts you in a vacation mindset, taking a bubble bath, reading your favorite book or magazine, getting a massage or spa treatment, sipping a cup of relaxing herb tea, sitting near flowers or trees, meditating, or just not answering your phone for a few hours. When your nervous system is calm, you will feel more refreshed, centered, and open in your heart.

Affirmation:
"I show myself love by respecting my body and making relaxation a priority."
