Spring Break Vacation Mode. In Four Steps.

Ready to downshift into spring break? Vacation mode R-O-C-K-S! 

But are we the only ones who feel like loose ends from the week always spill over into vacay - at least the first few days? Lurking in the background, distracting us when we’re wanting to leave them behind and be present for the good stuff?

Let’s do just that. Let’s leave them behind.

Let’s make room for what you want to do and feel on vacation now by cleaning up your brain. Clearing it for vacation mode. 

Ready?

Step 1: Sit down somewhere quiet. Turn off your notifications. Give yourself 10 minutes at least.

Step 2: Write down everything that’s a to-do or open-ended from the past week. EVERYTHING. When you think you’ve covered it all, give yourself another minute (Floss! I need more floss!). 

Step 3: Look at your calendar for the week you get home. Schedule commitments and free time, 2-hour blocks of focus time for the big stuff, and time for life admin. What are your priorities? Make room now. 

Step 4: Follow through. All that’s left is for you to follow through. 

Your brain isn’t a hard drive, it’s a processor.

The more you leave open ended within it, the more it will process - over and over and over again. 

When it’s time for vacation or time away, decide how you want to feel and create space in your brain to create those feelings. 

Fresh vacation thoughts - not leftovers from the week. 

Vacation is time well spent serving yourself in all the special ways that make you YOU. 

Get out there, do you.
