I am getting ready for vacation.  I'm really half in vacation mode already, though I have a few tasks to finish over the weekend and two classes to teach on Monday before I am officially on vacation.  I have been very busy with the free webinar series.  The rest of the replay links will go out next week.  I am grateful for being able to do it, to bring together a great group of people, to offer real benefit for free, to hear all of the positive feedback from viewers.

I am ready to take some time off, though.  We all need balance in our lives, ways to recharge and relax or spark our excitement about something.  It's great to have work that you love, like I do, but there is more to life than work even if you love it.  What do you love to do?  What brings you energy outside of work?

You may need to relax, read a book, schedule time to just do nothing.  How about a massage, energy session or pedicure?  Or, do you need to get together with friends, have fun?  What are you missing lately?  Have you listened to music that you love?  That's an instant mood lifter and energy shifter, if you listen to the kind that does it for you. 

Have you taken time to be outside in nature lately?  Do you love the woods, the ocean, lakes, fields or streams? Or, the mountains or a good hike up a hill?  For some of you, it's working in the garden or sitting in the shade.  The outdoors just refreshes us like not many other things can do.

What about spending time with family?  Or, with at a park or public place where there are children having fun?  Or, taking time away from family and taking time alone by yourself?

Take some time to think about these options and see what you require to bring you feelings of happiness.  Meditation can work wonders if you get into a regular practice.  And, then there are the joys of exercise, releasing endorphins into our brains.  Have you eaten fresh fruit or vegetables from summer, especially ones that are from your local area?  I went to a great farmer's market this week and will try to go weekly.

I have been a little too busy lately and am looking forward to time off, to spend with family, to get outside more, to relax and meditate.  I am already thinking of scheduling my next vacation because this one doesn't seem long enough.  Maybe I will take time this fall to go on a trip.  I hope you take the time you require to do what is calling to you, what will bring you joy & happiness!
