The summer of 2020 is unpredictably unique due to the effects of the Coronavirus. It surely affects summer vacation plans too regarding where to go and what to do. We have to take so many more precautions to ensure a safe family vacation. Questions we might need to consider include whether or not the facility is in full operation, how much social distancing is possible for me and my family and how effective are the precautions for extra hygiene and cleanliness to keep everyone safe? But what is the whole point of vacation? It is to give us a break from routine, and to be able to disconnect from everyday responsibilities of work, study or other activity in order to for mind to rest and relax.
Why do we happen to need vacation after vacation?
Going on a trip for your vacation is fun. It gives you an opportunity to change your mood and perspective about your current situation. It is good to enjoy the vacation just as it is. However, people get tired after vacation, and they ask for post vacation time for several reasons:
- not wanting to go back to a normal routine, due to things I don’t want to deal with
- the vacation experience was too good to let go, and it takes time to adjust back to reality
- lots of traveling, driving or activities in a short period of time causes exhaustion afterwards
- for overseas trips, the effects of travelling involve jet-lag, biological imbalance, and so on
Allow your mind to rest with an inspiring vacation. Meditation undoes mind and body exhaustion, and the effects are not just a short break away, but a long rest from the day-to-day necessities of life.
Vacation is your time. So it needs to be designed for your true well-being. You are not only a composition of your cells, but a living soul with emotions and energy. Therefore, it is highly recommended that one should take a vacation, as it is a call for your psychological state to pause and deeply rest. We absolutely can practice relaxation technique for 10 minutes any time during the day, but try to expand it to the level where you can feel a huge difference, enough to unload all the baggage from past events. After you experience the effects, you will be amazed how the deep break can be seen to be so powerful that is incomparable – more than just a temporary break-out from daily routine.
Meditation is a method to enable you to look back on yourself and cleanse away mind clutters
Combining meditative lifestyle with your vacation plan is a great place to start. For example, put an extra one or two days break on to your vacation schedule for some slow time, so that your mind need do nothing. Taking a guided meditation session will help your mind rest and relax effectively. Through guidance, you can reflect on how you respond to work or relationships, and find what could be done differently. Many successful people use meditation as part of their daily routine for best performance and insightful life. Vacation is a perfect time to begin purely caring about yourself for the best self.
If you have told yourself that you need a vacation, I suggest you think of that as a signal that your mind is exhausted. Be honest and ask for help before your exhaustion becomes a huge ball rolling down the hill. Take care of your mind and live well!
