This week, the “old” Pres, Richard, will be standing in for me. Just so no one misses me too much- here’s a quick joke:
What washes up on very small beaches? Microwaves!
I’m headed out on a road trip adventure back to Cody, Wyoming to visit friends that I haven’t seen in the two years since we moved to Prescott.
Not everyone likes road trips, but I think most everyone likes vacations. For me, this is a vacation of one of the funnest (that’s a technical term!) kinds- great scenery, time with friends, quality time outdoors, and places along the way to explore!
It seems like lots of Sunupians have had some great vacations this summer- some long, some short, some to exotic places, some not so much so.
Why not ask someone about their vacation experience this week? You might learn about a new place, or share in a memory of someplace you’ve been.
Everyone who’s gone on vacation has seemed lighter, more relaxed upon return.
That’s the beauty of vacation- time to relax and rejuvenate. If you’ve not had a vacation in a long time, maybe consider taking one.
I hear the protests from some of you, “I have too much work”, “I can’t afford to take the time off”, that list goes on.
Taking time away from work or daily stresses has tremendous health benefits, both physical and mental (too many references to list!). Even just a day away, outdoors, preferably without your electronic device(s), can do wonders for your soul, not to mention your outlook!
And if you simply cannot physically go away, try giving yourself some plain old downtime periodically during the day- step outside, go for a short walk, step away from the work or the stress, take a few deep breaths with your full attention on those breaths.
There’s lots of ways to bring those stress levels down.
What works for you?
When you feel that stress level climbing, what will you do?
Have a great (lower stress) week & see you all next week!
