<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 />
