3 Ways to Keep the "Vacation Feeling" ALL YEAR LONG...

So it's summer time and everyone is enjoying time outside in the sun, camping, swimming at the lake, ocean or relaxing on the beach... picnics, delicious dinners on the patio and time relaxing in a hammock...

This AWESOME "Vacation Feeling" of being relaxed, replenished and happy is a fantastic feeling and I have good news for you... It doesn't need to disappear as soon as school is back in at the beginning of September and we all get back to "the daily grind."

Through years of my own personal journey and in the process of coaching/teaching others, I have figured out how to keep that feeling going all year long...

This past long weekend I spend with my new in-laws at their beautiful home where we enjoyed relaxing outside with beautiful meals outdoors, playing with our nieces in the kiddie pool, lounging in the hammock... Plus we also went boating up at the lake and swimming in the beautiful warm, yet refreshingly cool lake water. It was a perfect weekend although my dog, Swift didn't much enjoy the swim... turns out he preferred to relax in the sun on a towel :)

That amazing feeling we get on summer vacation,
when we've taken time to EXHALE...

we feel replenished,

rested and connected to loved ones,

connected to ourselves and our larger purpose.

The difference in how we show up in the world when we've taken time to EXHALE is incredible and as I reflected on that this weekend, it inspired me to share about my Exhale & THRIVE philosophy...

1. I believe that EVERYONE can shift from barely surviving to FLOURISHING & THRIVING!

We don't need to stay stuck in stress, burnout, overwhelm or other limiting ways of living that keep us from enjoying life and being our BEST SELVES!

2. To do this, we need to remember to take time to EXHALE!

This is where we replenish ourselves, reconnect to our deeper purpose and see our vision for ourselves, our organizations and the world around us. By taking the time to EXHALE regularly on a daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly/annual basis we can keep our tanks topped up so we have the energy and motivation to THRIVE!

3. This can and will CHANGE the WORLD!

Taking time to reduce stress and boost our physical, emotional and mental health through meditation practices and other conscious relaxation on a regular basis will change our lives.

But even MORE than that, it can change the world because you will be able to show up as your BEST SELF, with energy, inspiration, tools and support to help you THRIVE in ALL areas of your life. Then you can truly have an incredible impact on the world!

I believe if everyone contributed their unique gifts to the world, we would all be WAAAY better off, global issues would no longer be a huge problem as we would be combining our SUPER POWERS for the greater good of humanity as a whole!

This is why I teach and coach leaders, because their reach is SO much more beyond others.

How a leader shows up impacts their staff which in turn has a ripple effect in their lives and communities.

A leader also impacts the organization as a whole and everyone their organization connects with, from customers, suppliers, stakeholders, partners and the greater community!

The potential for MASSIVE CHANGE is SO much greater in LEADERS due to their influence and reach... they are the key to the future!

So, if you are ready to shift your lifestyle so you maintain that wonderful "Vacation Feeling" all year, then I'd love to have you join my group or 1:1 coaching programs... just send a quick note to [email protected] or book some time in my calendar and we'll chat and see if we're a good fit. 

It IS possible to create that replenished feeling every day (or almost!)... it starts with your Exhale & THRIVE lifestyle!

Much love,
