In this stressful world we live in, taking a periodic vacation to rejuvenate your mind and body from everyday life sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it? Yet, how many times have you heard family, friends, or colleagues say they needed a vacation from their vacation? Too many, I am sure.
What I have noticed in my conversations with others is that many people tend to overextend themselves and never get a chance to relax when they go away. I realize that we all have different ideas about what constitutes relaxation. However, I truly think that we as a society have lost the ability to breathe deep and unplug for a few days. I would like to offer a few suggestions that help me in balancing the desire for much-needed rest with vacation time zest.
