Every once in awhile I feel the need to step away in order to recharge and provide my best work. When you’re an over-achiever it can be hard to do sometimes because you feel like you’ll be missing out on something and chances are you will be! But what you stand to gain is — FREEDOM! And nothing quite compares to the feeling of an open heart and where that can take you. Once the stress of everyday life, career, goals, and lengthy to-do lists is lifted from your shoulders your mind and body instantly relax and you can breathe into the present moment. When you get present you can tap into your joys!
Traveling always does this for me. I try to plan a get-away from the city about every 4 months and my mind and body always thank me! This time the hubby and I decided to take a 10 day road trip up the coast of California traveling from San Diego to San Francisco. This photo was captured in the beautiful beach town of San Clemente. During this trip I allowed myself the space to do whatever I craved, nothing more and nothing less and believe me it was fabulous! We ate our hearts out, we beached, we climbed, we worked out, we explored, we laughed, we danced, we played! It’s amazing how many of us are lacking that basic human necessity that we first fell in love with… play! You know that saying work hard, play hard? I really try to live by those words because having that balance in my life has brought me the most happiness. So I encourage you to find ways to exercise your bliss regularly. It’s therapeutic and does so much good for your mind, body and even your work.
Now that I’m back in NYC I’m eager and ready to jump back into a heavy load this week of training clients, auditioning and continuing to work on my own fitness journey. I’m feeling refreshed, recharged and well-rested. There’s no better place to operate at your best from!
