The 3 Rs of Taking a Vacation Without Leaving Home
This summer, get away, without going away. Take a mini vacation right in your own home. You owe it to yourself to practice the 3 R's - recharge, relax and renew.
*Have the post office hold your mail.
*Turn off your cell phone. I know it's hard, but let the answering machine pick up your calls.
*Turn off your computer. This is tough too, but you must take a break from business.
*Rent a couple of travel videos of places you've wanted to see. Don't watch the news or regular TV shows.
*Rent a yoga, tai-chi, or meditation video.
*Arrange for catering or take-out delivery.
*Have plenty of fruits, healthy snacks and fresh drinks stocked.
*Get a relative to take the kids (you can reciprocate later).
*Take a long bubble bath and read this summer's hottest novel.
*Arrange for a reputable massage therapist to make a house call.
*Send yourself a gift basket.
*Burn summer scented candles like Cantaloupe, Ocean Mist, Creamsicle, Hawaiian Paradise, Watermelon or Lily of the Valley.
We all need to get away for a short while and have time by ourselves or with a loved-one. Spending time relaxing can have an enormous effect on your well-being and reset your mind and body for increased productivity.
