Is there anything more relaxing than a weekend at the beach? For those times when your body is tired exhausted and you just need to get away from day to day stresses, wedding decisions, and just chill. I was lucky enough to take time this (long) weekend to ponder that exact question, and where better to make up my mind than at the beach. Our rented house was exactly 25 steps from house to sand – yes I counted – and having the chance to wake up each morning to the sounds of the waves crashing onto the beach left me feeling very blessed.
We all need to take time out in life, time to just relax, to get away from it all. Time to spend with those closest to you. Time to unwind and reload both your emotional and your physical energy banks. To sleep when you want to sleep, eat when you want to eat, drink whatever you want, whenever you want – goodness I think there may even have been a day when I ‘forgot’ to brush my hair – such was my level of chill. Absolute bliss. I have come back home feeling like a new person, completely relaxed with my energy tanks at full again.
It is so easy to forget to step back, let your body recover from the stresses you put it through daily and take time out. We keep waiting for the right time, never realising that in our busy lives there may never be the right time – we need to make time.
Make time people, make time!
Surely I am not alone
