Is it possible to always be on vacation?

VACATION -

We all want it.
We all need it.
We all wish we had more of it.

Aside from getting to visit a wonderful spot, vacations are meant to offer time for some rest and relaxation - a time to hit the “reset” button. A time for us to NOT think about work and focus on ourselves.

BUT, is this ever truly possible?

We have heard so many people talk about the Sunday blues - that feeling of knowing what will come on M-O-N-D-A-Y… The same can happen while on vacation right before you are set to… go home.

So what if you allowed yourself to feel as if you are always on vacation? Yes… ALLOWED yourself.

Think about the sensations that make you feel relaxed while on vacation. The smell of sea air, delicious food, great views?

• What if you added a few air fresheners in your office to help bring back that “vacation” state of mind?

• Made a point of either eating out or ordering take out at least once a week and invited a friend?

• Took a break and either watched an internet travel show or went through old photos of past vacations?

• Went on regular walks during the week and listened to sounds of the sea, bird song, or jazzy music?

Sure, it may not be the same… but if you can trick your mind even for an hour to think and feel like it is “on” vacation, why not?

So… are you relaxed yet?!
