Whilst I was away in Portugal, I realised some stuff, and I actually wrote it down so thought I would share! So this isn’t a bookish post (although I did read 3 books whilst we were away!)
I haven’t been abroad since my son was small, money was tight and then covid hit, but I had saved up some money, so we booked our holiday to Portugal!
The holiday bought time to think, a total slow down from my normal life. I didn’t realise just how rushed my life is!
Gone is the hubbub in my brain, rushing from one thing to the next to get it all done. I’ve had time to sit, think, relax.
It was like a balm for the soul. I actually feel refreshed and ready to go!
I realised it’s not the same, just having time off at home. Here we got to roam, to see new sights, have new adventures, eat at different places, sit on the balcony in the evening and just watch the world go by.
So we’ve decided that we’re going to try and do this every year (if I can save enough!)
I need this boost each year, need it for my brain, my body, my soul!
Do you feel like this? What do you do to get total relaxation?
