Relaxing on holidays, switching off and unwinding.

We need to spend more time relaxing on holidays, switching off and unwinding from the day to day duties that consume our lives.

If we have a consciously or unconsciously have an expectation of receiving a phone call or an email our minds are constantly on alert and not relaxed.

When traveling on a country train overseas, I decided to catch up on some sleep. Then suddenly the door separating 2 carriages abruptly tried to open & close. While being in a semi dormant state I thought the door would remain closed, well it didn’t and the pattern was repeated 6 annoying times.

Could I fall back to sleep, maybe but the expectation of the door slamming keep me awake and not very relaxed.
Eventualy 30 minutes into the trip the door sorted itself out and stopped opening & closing but I didn’t know this at the time.
So for the next hour I was waiting for the door to open & close, still feeling comfortable that this event may re occur even though it didn’t.

Fast forward back to your holiday and is waiting for that email or phone call like that banging door?

Learn to truly have a relaxing holiday by switching off and unwinding, you, your family or partner will be very happy.
