An interesting article about the importance of getting away came my way recently. Over 6,000 people were interviewed and here is what they said about their state of being:

• 72% reported feeling tired

• 23% said the were VERY tired

And it was not just physical, it was mental, emotional, social, and sensory exhaustion. And about 10% said they were creatively blocked and spiritually disconnected.

The finding of the article is that most of us are tired in ways that sleep can't fix.

I've said this before and I even created a podcast episode detailing the benefits of rest beyond sleep (Centered the Podcast- Permission to Rest).

What I found most interesting is that over 89% of the respondents recognized that travel was uniquely effective for them.

The impact of travel on the well-being of the respondents indicated that:

• 67% said it improves mood

• 52% said it brings a fresh perspective

• 37% said it improves sleep

• 34% said it increased gratitude

• 31% said it helped them connect to nature

• 28% said it boosts creativity

If this information resonates, schedule some travel for yourself. We'd love to be with you on one of our upcoming retreats.

With love and well-being,

Leslie
