Add Some Paradise to your 2019

Add Some Paradise to your 2019

The end of the year is a time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. For many, that means making New Year’s Resolutions and setting a clear list of goals – kicking off the new year with a running start of fervent determination. But… one thing we want to challenge you to do more often is slow down and give yourself a break.

Something we can all easily do is set an intention for this next year. It can be as simple as practicing gratitude by starting each day thinking of things you’re grateful for, or showing mindfulness by ending your day reading a book instead of scrolling on your phone.

One thing that we can (and should) all try to do in this next year, is take care of ourselves. Doing things for yourself is easy to skip in the hustle and bustle of every day life but it’s important to slow down and make yourself a priority as well.

Our favorite way to do that? A vacation, of course!

Being sure to schedule in a relaxing vacation at some point during the year not only gives you something to look forward to but it’s also a way to take a step towards a healthier you. Taking a vacation or, a staycation if you’re local, can offer some much-needed stress relief and mental respite and emotional relaxation. It’s important for you and it helps you to better care for those around you.

Saltwater contains many healing and helpful minerals like magnesium and potassium. The sound of waves crashing is known to help people increase relaxation and is often used in sound machines to help people fall asleep easier. And by now we should all know about the sun’s glorious Vitamin D benefits.
