Inspiration from vacation mode

With the first day of summer right around the corner your OOO mindset might be as well. Fun activities, sunny days, and travel plans are great for a balanced lifestyle, so partake when you can!

That said, it can be difficult to juggle your workload or stay inspired when there’s an uptick of extracurriculars. Or, you might find it difficult to transition back to your inbox after time offline. 

Here are a few suggestions to help you integrate the benefits of vacation mode into your day to day life.

Breathe fresh perspectives into your workday.

Take a Breather is a workday wellness break co-created by WellFests and The FruitGuys. Sessions are inspired by the elements and involve movement, meditation, and breathwork to help you energize, boost creativity, relax, and reconnect within the workday. 

AIR sessions help enhance mental clarity and are a great resource to inspire your workday if you’re feeling out to lunch. Check out the preview clip below.

Integrate moments of relaxation into daily life. 

Identify a few things that really help you relax when you’re on vacation. Maybe it’s simple, like eating meals outside or drinking sunkissed iced tea. Maybe it’s textings friends and family to strengthen and rekindle relationships with loved ones. What glimmers of vacation can you integrate into your day to day life?

Practice the traveler’s mindset

When you’re in a new place you’re paying attention to the details to help you navigate the unfamiliar. This is a great mindfulness practice called the traveler’s mindset or the beginner's mind. Whether you’re on vacation or not, practice this level of presence wherever you are at. Similar to a staycation, enjoy the simple sensory moments that are right in front of you. 

All of these suggestions have one thing in common—being in the moment. Slowing down and allowing space for clarity and connection to yourself, to your environment and to others. In that space of presence, lies infinite possibilities and potentials, helping expand your aspirations and illuminate how you experience yourself.
