If you live in a city like me, then you're probably used to dealing with swarms of people throughout your day. Traffic. Lines. Parking issues. A million demands for your time. The list goes on and on...
For me its a necessity to find a diversion from city life. Luckily, my beautiful girlfriend and our dog Georgia, along with another couple found some refuge in the gentle slopes of the Shenandoah Mountains over the New Years weekend. After getting accustomed to rushing through the day, it was a nice change of pace to slowly spend the day deciding between hot tub, book or a nap.
Mental health is an important component of wellness. Decreased stress levels through exercising, meditating and simply escaping the daily nonsense can go a long way in increasing happiness, physical health and overall outlook on life. I suggest scheduling something monthly to change your scenery. It can be a 2 hour trip to a secluded mountain spot or the perverbial "stay"cation.
