Give Your Body & Mind A Break With Amida

Sometimes we need a break! May is the season of Nurture, Love & Care with Amida. Oftentimes, in our busy lives we forget that rest is also an essential part of our health and vitality. A break from the everyday hustle is rejuvenating, and nourishes our soul! Oftentimes, it is exactly what we need when we feel overwhelmed and disconnected to who we really are. Contrary to popular belief, taking a break does not need to break the bank. With proper organization and intention, give your body and mind a break the Amida way!

Why Give Your Body & Mind A Break?

First, let’s emphasize the importance of rest for the body, mind, and soul. A break is essential for several reasons:

• Stress reduction: Taking breaks provides an opportunity to step away from stressors, whether they are work-related, personal, or environmental. It allows you to recharge and find balance, which can help reduce stress levels, improve resilience, and enhance your ability to cope with challenges.
• Enhancing productivity and focus: Breaks can actually improve your productivity and focus by allowing your mind to rest and reset. Studies have shown that regular breaks during work or study sessions can enhance concentration, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and overall performance.
• Mental and emotional well-being: Taking breaks supports your mental and emotional well-being. Breaks provide an opportunity to nurture your emotional health, reduce anxiety, and improve mood.
• Prevent burnout: By giving your body and mind regular breaks, you create a healthier balance in your life. Breaks help prevent burnout by allowing you to recharge, set boundaries, and prioritize self-care. They enable you to sustain your energy and motivation in the long run.

Above all, prioritizing breaks can be a valuable investment in your overall health, happiness, and productivity!

Offer Yourself Self-Love

Self-love refers to a deep and unconditional regard for oneself. It encompasses acceptance, care, and compassion towards one’s own well-being, both physically and emotionally. Self-love involves recognizing and honoring your own worth, embracing your strengths and imperfections, and prioritizing your needs and happiness.

Some key aspects of self-love involve:

• Self-acceptance: Self-love involves accepting yourself as you are, with all your strengths, weaknesses, and unique qualities. It means embracing your authentic self and refraining from harsh self-judgment or comparison to others.
• Self-care: Self-love includes prioritizing your own well-being and engaging in practices that nurture and support your physical, emotional, and mental health.
• Prioritizing personal growth: Self-love involves recognizing the importance of personal growth and investing in your own development. It means setting goals, pursuing your passions, and engaging in activities that foster your growth and fulfillment.
• Celebrating achievements and strengths: Self-love includes acknowledging and celebrating your achievements, milestones, and strengths. It means recognizing your accomplishments, big or small, and giving yourself credit for your efforts and successes.

Self-love is an ongoing practice that requires conscious effort and self-reflection. It involves treating yourself with kindness, compassion, and respect. Oftentimes self-love incorporates the reality that we need a break. For example: a mini vacation.

A Mini Vacation To Refresh

When we travel, we offer ourselves self love. We honor what we need, and we embody rest and relaxation. We show the universe that we are ready to receive. Here are a few reasons why a mini vacation serves a powerful purpose:

• Change of environment: Going on a mini vacation allows you to break away from your regular surroundings and routines. The change of environment can be invigorating and stimulating for your senses. It offers a sense of novelty and excitement, which can help shift your perspective and provide a mental reset.
• Time for self-care: Mini vacations provide an opportunity for focused self-care. By dedicating a short period solely to yourself, you can prioritize activities that rejuvenate and nourish your body and mind. Whether it’s indulging in spa treatments, engaging in outdoor activities, reading a book, or simply taking long walks, you can dedicate uninterrupted time to recharge and take care of yourself.
• Increased leisure time: With a mini vacation, you often have concentrated leisure time without the pressure to accomplish specific goals or visit numerous attractions. This allows for a more relaxed pace, giving you the freedom to engage in activities that align with your interests and desires.

In other words, sometimes we need to take a mini vacation and reset our system back into gratitude. Perhaps, it is time to rebalance the root chakra!

The Root Chakra & Money 

The root chakra, also known as the Muladhara chakra, is associated with the feeling of safety, security, and stability. It is located at the base of the spine and is often represented by the color red. This is the energy center located around the perineum and down into the legs and feet. It has to do with our sense of security, home, safety, and money. In other words, when we feel overwhelmed and out of balance, the root chakra needs some attention and love. Oftentimes, this requires for us to pause and take a break – which can be a challenging task. However, when we come back to our tasks with a more balanced perspective we can often be more present and achieve at a much higher level. We talk about the root chakra in further detail, in our “The Healing Power of Money” blog.

Don’t Break The Bank

In order to accomplish a peaceful mini vacation, you don’t need to break the bank. With proper intention – your perfect vacation is possible. Perhaps, it will be the best decision you can make for yourself to reset.

First, we encourage you to be present with spending. If the intention of a mini vacation is to truly take a break and reset – be mindful about where you are allocating your money. There is a difference between traveling to the Las Vegas strip, and going to a peaceful spa resort in Mexico. What does your soul crave? Begin to feel into that.

Second, create a travel bank fund. Start allocating money towards your desired mini vacation today! Get excited about all of the possibilities you have, and step into the feeling of bliss when you open your hotel room door and smell the sweet ocean. Begin to feel into what you want. Buy local fresh fruit when you’re there, and perhaps spend more time at the ocean than the local shops. Embrace your peaceful presence, and establish the reset you truly deserve.

Lastly, book things ahead of time. This way, on your mini vacation you are fully present to the moment and not focused on planning. Do the research ahead of time, so you can fully embrace your intentional mini vacation and reap all of the benefits of your hard work. Book all of your restaurants in advance– Connect to your soul, and just Flow.
