Staycation This Summer
If you can’t get away . . . Plan A Stayca!
Throughout our lives, we’ve been taught that true relaxation can only happen when we’re not at home. So, we eagerly wait for week-long vacations, forgetting about the free time we have regularly. But guess what? You can get that same deep relaxation you feel on vacation right in your own cozy home.
The peacefulness you feel on vacation isn’t just because you’re somewhere new, it’s because you let yourself relax and recharge. If you can bring that same chill vibe to your everyday life, even when things are hectic, you’ll be a lot more relaxed and happy.
At home, distractions are like ninjas, always hiding and ready to strike. They come from all the chores we have to do just to survive. If you want to feel as peaceful as you do on vacation, you need to make your home a chill spot. Temporarily ignore the mess, but if there is an overwhelming amount, tidy up the space you’ll be using for your staycation first. Relaxing is just as important as eating. Next, set the mood.
Vibing to music that brings back memories of a vacation? It’s like your mind gets whisked away to that chill, carefree place all over again. The same goes for sipping on a tropical drink or chowing down on some delicious ethnic food – they’ve got the power to transport you to a more tranquil headspace. Instead of stressing over your to-do list, give yourself permission to kick back, relax, and do stuff that genuinely makes you happy. Your responsibilities can wait while you take some well-deserved time for yourself. So go ahead, unwind, and bask in that inner peace that only you can bring to yourself.
When you feel like going back to your crazy-busy lifestyle, remember that chilling out should be at the top of your to-do list. Even when life’s got you running around like the Duracell bunny, you need to take some time for yourself and do things that make you feel good. You might not always be able to take a Stayca!, but even small acts of self-care can help you find your inner peace and make your brain feel refreshed.
Peace & Harmony, Cheryl
