I had the amazing opportunity to take a full week off from my life and travel to a place far away and very different from my home on Long Island. It was only me and my partner, no children. So on many levels I left my entire life behind and the gifts that such a vacation provided were profound.
Being a single mother of two teenage children, just the time away to care for no one but myself was a much needed reprieve. Add to that the big skies and wide open space of the south-west and now I have truly uprooted my daily experience from the hectic pace of the NY suburbs and the demands of single parenthood.
Finally, with space and time came stillness, introspection and a curious sense of sanity that seems to have been missing from the day to day frenzy that I call my life. Over the next few days I am going to take you on this journey with me. We will look at the many benefits of getting away, the curious experience of witnessing your life from a distance and the possibility of shifting your perspective and ultimately your reality to better serve your health and well being.
What are you planning that will give you even a small vacation from your daily routine? What do you hope to get from your ‘vacation’? How has time away helped you gain perspective? We want to hear your story…please comment.
