Vacations are overrated. Sometimes we think if we don’t get away, we’ll burst! The truth is, while vacations have their place, mental vacations can happen new every day for very minimal cost. We are entering into a time when there is a constant threat of disaster. Whether it’s a tornado, an earthquake, or even just the real final stages of a drought. You may not be able to get away for a much needed vacation. Furthermore, the economy is ever uncertain. Where do you find your sense of assurance? If you’re smart, you’ll develop a mental getaway in your mind. Feel free to use places around you that you enjoy but base the experience in your imagination. If you were captured and put in a cell, how would you keep your sanity? What if you had a mental getaway fostered in your mind? No prison bars can hold you.
Go somewhere else in your mind. It can be as simple as going to the site Calm.com or as complicated as burning incense as you meditate in the lotus position. If you don’t take care of your mental health it will take care of you (which isn’t good). People are so hell-bent on making the grade that they fail to relax. By relaxing and “sharpening the axe” one becomes more productive. This isn’t rocket science. Take more time to look within and you’ll find better answers than the workaholics find.
postscript: I must say here at the end that I am a huge fan of real vacations ;)
