If you’re stressed out and tired, one of the things you can do to help yourself is to plan a self-care getaway. This type of trip can be almost any kind of vacation. The goal is to do things you enjoy and take care of yourself so you feel better when you go back to your normal routine. Here are some tips from Personal Growth Web to help you get started!
Better health and wellness are two major reasons why it’s necessary to take self-care getaways seriously. During a self-care getaway, find ways to make healthy choices.
For example, finding ways to exercise when you have limited time can help you get in better physical shape and burn off stress and anxiety. A good example of this is taking the stairs rather than the elevator or taking a short walk while you’re out to lunch.
I never thought I was a sensitive person. Practical, yes. Reasonable. Down to earth. But sensitive was not how I would classify myself. It is only recently that I have begun to realize that I am sensitive. If you are really honest with yourself we are all sensitive.

A new job with new people helped me to understand that my way of life was not normal or particularly healthy. Although I was not quite sure how to change my life I started trying to become more ‘alive’.
