It’s so important to take time for yourself to get away from what you are used to. For a lot of us, especially me, I can become overwhelmed with thoughts of work even when I’m not there because I tend to bring it home with me. That’s why it is so refreshing to plan (or spontaneously go on) day or weekend trips. Try to go somewhere new so undesired thoughts can’t tag along easily. The other day Ryan, his Uncle, & I drove down to Hampton Beach, NH to meet with his parents for breakfast. It was just the right distance away for it to be new & exciting, but at the same time not stressful. I strongly encourage this!
