Ready, Set, Relax

We just keep going and going like the Energizer Bunny, and we rarely take time to relax, reflect, and reenergize.  Last week, I went on my honeymoon to St. Thomas, and I had the opportunity to get away from the "real" world for a week.  It was unbelievably relaxing and refreshing.  While I was on vacation, I realized just how much I needed this time away from the stresses of ordinary life.  You will be suprised at how creative you can be when your mind is clear and has time to wander.  I encourage everyone to find time to step back and relax.  You may not be able to take a week off for vacation, but you can schedule half a day or more for some alone time.  During this alone time, do whatever you want.  Don't give yourself a schedule to follow.  Also, disconnect from the "real" world, meaning don't take your blackberry, ipad, or cell phone.  You may feel guilty at first, but you need this.  Everyone needs this.  Below, I have included some photos from my honeymoon that may help you get in the mood to relax.  Enjoy the journey!
