Masterful Mindsets ~ No Vacation Needed
Question:
What is your favorite vacation destination? How often do you take vacations? Do the places you go and the people you hang out with bring you joy? Or do you find yourself in toxic relationships and stressful environments that you need a break from? Do you love your career enough that even going to work feels fun and rewarding or is it exhausting and overwhelming?
Action Challenge:
Creating a life you don’t need a vacation from starts with loving the life you live. And perhaps creating a space for your own little oasis to get away, enjoy, relax and renew.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take vacations… Vacations are awesome! I totally encourage you to take vacations. As a matter of fact, I’d love for you to post your favorite vacation destinations in the comments below. BUT what I’m really talking about here is not needing to get away from your life because you are miserable or burnt out. Rather, I want you to create a life you love so much that you don’t need to get away from it.
This happens when you love what you do for a living, who you’re spending your time with and the environment around you. This happens when you take regular mini breaks so you don’t burn out. This happens when you have a space in your home or community that brings you peace, relaxation and renewal. This happens when you can find joy in every day moments. This happens when you can create fun and happiness wherever you are, valuing your time enough to bring the joy into it. And valuing yourself enough to create a life you love.
So, are you creating space for relaxation, renewal and fun in your everyday life? Have you created a life you don’t need a vacation from?
My challenge to you is to start creating that life now. Start with something simple but powerful. Create a “vacation” space in your life that brings you joy. A place that makes you happy; where you can go for peace, relaxation, renewal and fun.
Your new oasis could be a space in your home. (Mine is my screened in back porch. I love to watch the sun set there! It’s so peaceful and relaxing.) Or maybe it’s your favorite place to go in your community (i.e. the beach, a park or even a coffee shop).
Whatever space you choose for your new favorite vacation spot, be sure you set it up so it’s available when you want to get away, so you can take a break anytime you want or need to.
Again, vacations are awesome and I do encourage you to take them. But don’t wait until you’re at the point where you think you’ll just lose it if you don’t get away. Instead, put a little vacation into every day or at least every week. You’ll be refreshed, renewed and ready to dive back into life in no time.
Oh and if you find that maybe you are so stuck in a life that you desperately want to get away from but don’t know how, then please know that I’d be happy to guide you through that transformational change. Don’t let toxic friends or a job you hate keep you stuck. Let’s revamp your current situation so you too can create a life you don’t need a vacation from.
