Take A Break: Creating Mini Vacations Right Where You Are

TAKE A BREAK!

THINK ABOUT RELAXING...
That's right: relaxing.
You'd like to, wouldn't you? I can almost hear you though:
"You gotta be kiddin'! Vacation? Good night, I can hardly
find time drink my vitamin C filled orange juice in the
morning let alone think about a vacation. Get real!"
I identify.
So why not think about a "minute" vacation? Really.
Sixty seconds of pure, "just your own" relaxation. Let that
sink in: sixty seconds of pure, "just your own" relaxation.
HERE'S HOW...
To do it you gotta think about a time you just loved. Let's
say a time at the beach for example.
In reflecting about your time at the beach, you might find
yourself going over thoughts like these:
"It was great. I'd get up in the morning, go down to the beach and just 'be there.'
Sometimes I'd pray. Sometimes I would walk down to the pier. And sometimes I would just sit and listen to the waves.
It was great. I remember walking out on the beach and sighing. Yep, you got it -- sighing.
It was a nice, *total relaxing sigh.*
When I think of a great time at the beach -- that's what I think about!"
And you are right: that is what I think about -- my time at
the beach a few years ago ;-)
Something similar: that's what you need to think about if
you are going to take your own one-minute vacation.
Whatever it is...
You think about it.
You feel it.
You sense it.
And here's the key: until you have some sense of an emotional "release." The moment you know you have returned *inside* to your special place of enjoyment.
Like my own deep, relaxing sigh on the beach.
When you do that, you've taken a minute vacation. Your own
sixty seconds of pure, "just your own" relaxation.
THE PRINCIPLES ARE EASY
Here are a few short "principles" to put into practice as
you develop the art of taking "minute vacations."
(A side note: yes, they could be two or three minute vacations. The idea is short and "attainable" times.)
Principle number one...
Stop!
You got it: stop.
You just simply stop. Shut down.
Capooie.
Did I get the point across? LOL You gotta stop!
Principle number two...
Inside you think: "No responsibilities." Absolutely none.
Zero.
And you may find you have to...
GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION
In this process I have found it helpful to give myself permission to have a break.
That is, as thoughts start to come and destroy your mental
walk on the beach, you can affirm something like:
"Not here!
Not now!
These moments are mine!"
And you go ahead and take your one, two or three minute
vacation.
YES, IT DOES WORK!
I had a student stop by my office about a week or so ago and
say to me: "I'm still taking those minute vacations! Thanks
for the idea."
I have taken many, many minute vacations. I enjoy them.
In short: it works.
Yours for a day filled with beautiful moments in time,
Lee
P.S. Have you thought about "where" you will take your
mini vacation yet?
Go ahead.
At least get a few ideas.
A minute or two.
Everyone has a minute or two :)
