I've been away for 2 weeks on vacation to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday. It was nice to have a reunion; I hadn't seen my brother or his family for 3 years. When I returned home to "normal", I realized there was a new normal. I had lost two weeks on my calendar (to a nice resort in St. Pete Beach, I might add), the weather has changed slightly, school is in full swing, the kids are in their warmer clothes and fall classes at the local YMCA started. So we jumped right back into a hurried pace with new schedules and new habits.
Vacations serve as a forced break from our routines. They (should) allow us to walk away from our day-to-day focus on work, home, and other obligations. We get out of the routine, so it would be a great time to begin a new normal when we return.
What new "habits" would you like to begin after your next vacation?
Personal:
- Lifestyle changes
- Exercise routine
- Budget restrictions or allowances
- Diet
- Relationships
- Educational opportunity
- Additional training
- Re-evaluation of goals and priorities
- Boundaries for time and emotional investment
- New schedule
