I love traveling as do many people. For me so much opens up in my life while I am away. New experiences, meeting new people trying new foods but most importantly being away from my daily routine allows me the time and space to gain perspective on my life and what is important!
I forget how much of my daily life's energy is wasted on just running around from one unimportant activity to another! After all we exchange one energy for another. Much of what I discover while I am away is what is really important to me and what just fills my time. Time is a precious commodity and cannot be returned!
As an example here while being away something as simple as breakfast or lunch seem like the event. At home during my busy but non productive days seem like a necessary part just to get to the next thing on my not so important list of things to do.
I can go weeks here and not think about something at all, but while I am back home the same issue or relationship can burn my energy to the point of exhaustion.
Yes these may be small and simple examples but being away allows me to gain perspective on what's important in my life.
If you cannot travel to gain this perspective please be mindfully conscious of what is draining your energy and what restores it !
