Want to energize or unwind? Want to re-connect with your partner or family, or simply chill out. You can get into a vacation state of mind with three simple new ideas.
Whatever your plans and commitment for the long labor day weekend, there are some great ways to transform your downtime into a vacation state of mind. We all imagine that by retreating to a hilltop villa or a beach resort we'll escape our daily routines, reconnect and unwind. So, why don't we?
Being a billionaire won't help either. It seems the further we travel, the more money we spend, and the longer we're away, the higher our expectations and the greater our sense of disappointment.we tend to sneakily pack our bags full of expectations, which we fail to declare or meet.Here are three ways I've found you can make the long weekend, or any downtime, a whole lot more fulfilling - and you don't need to spend more money or travel any further than your back yard.
If your partner wants an active weekend when you're hoping for a restful one, both your needs can be met if you're clear about them upfront. Even when you do make yourself abundantly clear, your needs can easily get derailed by other peoples' demands. But, when you keep your wishes secret, there is little chance of them ever being fulfilled.It sounds so obvious.
I get that you need to be contactable, in case your mom breaks a hip or your CEO has a heart attack, so I advise clients to buy the cheapest phone you can, put your SIM card in it and let anyone who needs to know that in an emergency they can dial your number. At the very least, this weekend forward calls to landline and switch your 'phone to airplane mode.
Finally, there is no surer way to darken the mood of your downtime than by consuming movies and novels which are depressing. Instead, choose music, films, and books that are joyous and enriching. There is even music you can listen to without wifi or internet connection.
