I just arrived home this week after a full day of travel. It’s got me thinking about how often travel comes with a … 😩
“side of stress.”
Whether it’s long lines, missed meals, recycled air, or just the energy it takes to change location … your body knows.
And often, it lets you know it’s overwhelmed shortly after arrival.
That’s why it’s so common for people to come down with something right after they land. Not because they “caught something” on the plane, but because travel challenges the immune system. It introduces unfamiliar bugs and asks your nervous system to do a lot of heavy lifting.
So what’s a Wellness Warrior to do?
First, give your immune system a little extra love: 💖
🫗Stay hydrated
🫚Take your adaptogens
🛌🏻Prioritize sleep before and after travel
And, if you’re a member, don’t forget to bring your Aware Appreciation™ journal. It’s a powerful stress antidote 🧉
Second, as soon as you arrive, get grounded. Literally.
Take off your shoes. 👠 Put your feet on the damp earth. Let your body reset to its natural rhythm after being tens of thousands of feet 🦶🏻 in the air.
And if you’re crossing time zones, ⌚ light is your best friend. The rising and setting sun helps recalibrate your internal clock far better than melatonin ever could.
Travel is a beautiful thing … but it’s not neutral. So this summer, take your wellness wisdom with you.
Protect your energy. Support your system. And give your body what it needs to enjoy the journey. ✈️
