A 10-Minute Vacation
|
Hi Reader, Many years ago I took a psychology class and they taught us a concept for dealing with stress known as “5 minute vacation”. The concept is that whenever you're overwhelmed with stress, just taking 5 minutes to rest and imagine yourself on a lovely vacation can dramatically lower your stress levels. I'm currently recovering from the worst asthma exacerbation I've had in over 3 years. Ironically, this has forced me to rest. I'm honestly not very good at resting. I like to be busy and active, and resting (other than sleeping) has always felt like a waste of time for me. But my body had other ideas and decided that I really needed a rest. Unfortunately, this is a lesson I've seen play out many times, with both myself and others - When people refuse to take a much needed rest, the body will decide to take one for you! So if you're currently feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, here is your sign to give yourself a little rest and relaxation. Trust me, your body will thank you for it! Speaking of vacations, I finally have my new video on Kinosaki, Japan, ready to show you! Kinosaki is an absolutely beautiful and charming onsen town in Japan, about two hours away from Kyoto. This place truly makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Onsen towns were created around natural hot springs known as onsen, and they are amazing places to find relaxation and rejuvenation. Onsen are full of beneficial minerals and are such an amazing way to relax and simultaneously improve your health - they are one of the things I miss most about Japan. Join me for a little tour of this beautiful town and give yourself a 10 minutes to relax - hey even put your feet up while you’re at it! 😀 Wishing you a restful Sunday 🌸 Amalia

Hi Reader, Yesterday I was flying a trip with Will, a coworker that I went to flight attendant training with 11 years ago. We were reminiscing about classmates and I mentioned our mutual friend Rolo. Will smiled and said, “Rolo really is the most interesting man in the world. “ And I knew exactly what he meant by that. "The Most Interesting Man in the World", probably the funniest ad campaign ever! For context, Rolo is in his 60s, but he has more energy in enthusiasm than many 20 year-olds...
Hi Reader Life can be overwhelming some days, am I right? The overwhelm is still something I’m working through - although I think I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I talk about the overwhelm and how I’m learning to manage it in this video. Although I’m talking from the perspective as a mom, I think this discussion can really apply to anyone with a lot on their plate! I’ve also recently started reading "Future Boards" by Sarah Centrella and I’m really loving it! Because...
