EP 240 – Vacation Stress

You have one hour to get to the airport, but you find yourself still stressing out about what clothes to pack and where you’ve hidden the sunscreen.

Stop letting the vacation stress get to you, start breathing, and focus on the next step. If you don’t, you’ll be running around like the proverbial ‘chicken with your head cut off’ and it’ll only get worse.

Vacations are needed to restore our resiliency and to be rejuvenating, but having the expectation that this one will be your ‘best vacation ever’ can lead to further stress.

So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Vanquishing Vacation Stress:

First and foremost, make sure that you have planned for when you are going to use your allotted vacation time.

Remember that there is no such thing as the perfect vacation, so stay flexible.

The first step is to pick and choose your activities wisely. Choose activities that meet with your particular goals. Is this vacation for relaxation, celebration or relationship renewal?

Ease into and out of vacation mode. There is nothing worse than returning from a vacation saying you need a vacation from your vacation.

Finally, don’t let guilt over-ride this me-time. If you do go on vacation, enjoy yourself fully and completely. In this way, when it is time to get back to work you will be refreshed and ready to go. Take the time to breathe deeply, laugh and nurture your soul while you are vacation
