I’ve been home from vacation for a few days. It was two weeks of fun-packed days. I have memories and new friends that are lasting. ❤️

As I recovered from the travel ✈️ and schedule disruption, I was reminded how different a vacation is from a retreat.

While it’s possible that both experiences are created for you rather than by you,  there’s a different vibe.

Vacation days tend to be jampacked with activities. This vacation included a cruise and, even on sea days, it’s easy to fill your schedule. 🚢

Retreat days are focused on self-care. They’re intentionally less structured …  allowing for plenty of time for reflection. 🧘‍♂️

It’s rarely all one or the other. Typically around 80% of the experience fits squarely into either.

There’s certainly a place for both. I prefer a retreat with a clear focus on prioritizing self-care.

What’s your preferred adventure? Do you step away from your routine regularly to recharge your batteries? 🔋

And do you consider what you most need from your time away? Is it more activity and active fun? That’s a vacation.

Or …

Do you really need a change of pace? Slower days. Nurturing. To return with a recharged battery. That’s a retreat!

Both have their place. Just make sure your time away gives you what you really need.

Most importantly … get away. It’s good for the body mind and soul.

Until next week …

Be Well!
