In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's essential to remember the value of taking a mental vacation. Just as we need physical rest, our minds crave moments of escape.
A mental vacation is a planned break devoid of the distractions of everyday life. It can look many ways, but it is a powerful technique to be at your best and to know when you're at your best.
In this episode, I share a profound experience from the past when I was moving very fast from the energy of anger and how I terrified someone because of my actions. Combined with other things that I was learning at the time, this moment woke me to a commitment to slow down.
Everything uses bandwidth, even the joyful days, so mental vacations are not just for hectic times; they are for every time you remember to give to yourself.
