How to Develop a Vacation Mindset

Published by Vicki on

It’s time to get ready for summer vacation – to the lake, the mountains, or the backyard. The location really doesn’t matter, but the mindset does. You could be in the most spectacular place on Earth, but if your thoughts keep dragging you back into the office you may as well be in a wasteland. I mean, why go to all the trouble of planning, packing, and travelling, if you’re still at work mentally? 

Did you know that vacations actually make you more productive and successful? We’re not robots and our bodies, minds and spirits need time to rest, recreate and rejuvenate, despite what the “American Overwork” culture demands of us. Developing the skills (yes, skills!) to really disconnect and be present while you’re on vacation is crucial to your overall success both personally and professionally.

In this week’s Wellness Wednesday Workshop we will:

  • change the beliefs that keep you from enjoying time off
  • develop a deeper purpose for being on vacation
  • set recreation and rejuvenation goals
  • fully embrace your right to disconnect

So before you hit the road physically you need to check out mentally. Let’s figure out how to let go of the thoughts that keep you tied to your office chair and create ones that help you enjoy the beach chair.

I’m Vicki Wiepking - a wellness coach, writer and teacher. I love to play outdoors and try not to take anything too seriously - myself especially. I work with busy women who are ready to start a new lifestyle, let go of negative thinking and basically anything else that is weighing them down. I help my clients embrace their best selves and stop listening to the voice that makes them self-sabotage. Yeah, we all have that little voice - and I'll help you make it work for you instead of against you! I have always been a student of alternative health and wellness, and wanted to find a way to combine my love of nutrition, essential oils, yoga, and nature into a productive lifestyle for myself. I started a wellness coaching practice and began working with clients over 15 years ago. Through the years I observed first hand how women specifically needed help in their daily lives on not just physical, but emotional and psychological levels as well. So, I developed the Mind Body Blueprint. It is designed to help busy women achieve their health and fitness goals. But first, a few things about me.... - I love doing laundry.  No ironing, and I don’t really separate colors.  My hubby doesn’t let me touch his clothes.  Maybe that’s why I like it… - I take bubble baths almost every night.  Sanctuary time for sure. - I turn the music up in the car and sing real loud. You do it too, I've seen you. - My favorite shows: Gone with the Wind – Scarlett rocks.  Grace and Frankie – because I love laughing and crying at the same time. - Cooking calms me down…until I get too many things going at once and wreck something.  It all tastes good in the end usually. - Thanks to my yoga practice I can still do the splits and a pretty good handstand.  Cartwheels optional. My hubby and I are obsessed with outdoor adventures. You might find us whitewater rafting, skiing or relaxing on the beach - depending on the season.
