How Slowing Down Made Me More Efficient, Effective and Less Stressed Out

I recently took a three week vacation.  I know, right?  Intervention was required to save me from myself because I have a bit of a problem being a workaholic.  Normally my vacations consist of a long weekend or maybe a 10 day stint where I find myself sleeping for the first 72 hours, then adjusting to the idea of the vacation, and by the time the vacation is over… I’m finally getting the hang of it.

This recent retreat was a staycation (as they call it) and I had around me my loved ones who wholeheartedly supported my “taking it easy.”  Battered and bruised with chronic neck stress and bags under my eyes, I took some time in Boston and then came home for the remainder of my vacation where my family pampered and spoiled me, fed and watered me, and let me nap in the September sunshine.  It was pretty terrific.  By week two, I was beginning unwind.  By week three I noticed a decided change in attitude and physical well being.  My goodness, I hadn’t felt this good since 2006!  I felt clear.
