<strong>BLUSH</strong> | ULTIMATE TRAVEL<br />

a change of<br />

scenery, even if<br />

it is just a couple<br />

of hours down<br />

the road, can<br />

work wonders,<br />

and it has been<br />

scientifically<br />

proven that<br />

travel provides<br />

a number of<br />

benefits to your<br />

mental health.<br />

Coaching: Often times – no matter how<br />

many yoga classes you attend, or how<br />

serious you are about meditation – you<br />

still need to literally find more ‘quiet’.<br />

Being away from every usual distraction<br />

in your life can make your relaxation<br />

practices all the more powerful.<br />

Manage Stress<br />

The Facts: Margaret J King of the<br />

Center for Cultural Studies and Analysis<br />

says about the stress-relieving abilities of<br />

Go ahead and book<br />

that trip right now,<br />

you deserve that<br />

time to yourself.<br />

travel: “With a short<br />

list of activities each<br />

day, freed up from<br />

the complexities of<br />

ongoing projects and<br />

relationships, the<br />

mind can reset, as<br />

does the body, with<br />

stress relief the main<br />

outcome.”<br />

Coaching: We<br />

all now know how<br />

important it is to manage stress. We<br />

simply can’t avoid stress in our lives<br />

anymore, whether it is affected by things<br />

in our control or not. We will inevitably<br />

falter in some way; through mental or<br />

physical disorders. Travel can be your best<br />

asset to guarantee stress relief.<br />

Re-evaluate your Goals<br />

The Facts: You may have goals already<br />

in place that you’re working towards or<br />

you may want to set some new ones.<br />

Being ‘away from it all’ will provide you<br />

with the creative focus you need to drill<br />

down into the ‘whys’ of your goals and<br />

create a tangible plan of action for when<br />

you get home.<br />

Coaching: Re-evaluate your goals,<br />

check-in with yourself on what you’re<br />

doing well and what may need tweaking.<br />

It gives you the time to be creative;<br />

thinking more freely without having to<br />

default into ‘sensible thinking’. We need<br />

to have the ability to dream and envision<br />

the life that we want for ourselves.<br />

So – go on... treat your self to a retreat!<br />
