You may be preparing for a summer vacation right now. Making lists, packing suitcases, hiring a pet-sitter, getting the oil changed. It makes me tired to even think about it! We all know how that feels… we want to get away from it all, but the preparation, the travel, and even the vacation can make us need a vacation.
Not this one! This mini-mental vacation can happen anytime, anywhere and you only need to close your eyes. You can even do this while you are planning for or on an actual vacation.
No matter where you are or what situation you’re in, you can imagine you are somewhere else for a few minutes. You can put down anything you’re carrying and spend some time at your favorite place in the world, wherever that may be. Ready to try it? This 8-minute vacation visualization will temporarily transport you. Your brain and your body will thank you.
