An Enjoyable Prescription for Stress: Travel

I read an article today that asked if I was 'burned out'.
Irritable. Low energy. Headaches. Upset tummy.

The 'prescription' was a trip to Italy!

OK – sounds wonderful.
But totally impractical.
Usually our day-to-day workload won’t allow
running away for a week or two.
And who wants to fly all the way to Italy
for just a day or two?

So here's my alternate suggestion –
Take a mini vacation!

How about a long weekend at the beach.
A quick trip to a mountain resort.
Theater in the city …
Try a day-spa to relax and rejuvenate.
If you're really pressed for time,
do dinner and a movie!

Anything that gets you away
from your normal routine
refreshes your mind and emotions
and relaxes your body.

The article went on to say that your health
and work performance will greatly improve
after your stress-free 'get-away'.


So don't feel guilty.
Travel is not a reward,
it's a healthy benefit for your life.
Plan mini-vacations into your schedule.
Make a date with your spouse, friend or companion.
Get out, get going, get away.You'll be glad you did!
