Get Inspired! How Taking a Vacation Will Help You Recharge, Reflect & Relax
Take vacations, go as many places as you can. You can always make money, you can’t always create memories.

For many entrepreneurs, working twenty-four hours a day is the norm. Taking a break seems unrealistic and a waste of time. However, after a weekend of seaside bliss, I’ve discovered taking a break was just what I needed.
A break is good for your mental and physical health. Taking a break and experiencing life are essential for personal and professional growth. A relaxed and recharged mind fosters productivity. I left my sea side vacation with new ideas, plans for expansion, and great stories in the making.
For entrepreneurs, it’s hard to shut everything down and take a few days off. My suggestion to you is a vacation with a purpose. Find an inspiring location that will stay with you when you return home. A place that will help refuel your purpose for becoming an entrepreneur. As a writer, everything is an inspiration. There is so much to see, taste, feel, smell, touch, and experience. I attended a harbor view wedding this weekend for my former college roommate and friend. I left with a playbook full of notes, plots, to-die-for sensory elements, and a wedding scene I’m sure will end up in a future novel.
Here are 6 things you should do on your vacation to ensure you recharge, reflect, and relax:
- Explore (i.e. tours, live entertainment, food, art, etc.)
- Challenge yourself (i.e. mountain climbing, skydiving, biking, etc.)
- Read a book
- Journal (Plan, think, write)
- Reconnect with yourself (i.e. meditate, yoga, moment of silence, etc.)
- Relax (i.e. massage, soak in a Jacuzzi, etc.)
If done right, a vacation can leave you with clarity and purpose. Maybe, it can leave a different perspective on life. You will return to the daily grind inspired and fired up! You have work hard to build your business. It is now time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Recharge, reflect, and relax. Let a vacation inspire you to reach new heights. DON’T JUST EXIST, LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST. #Recharge #Reflect #Relax #BeInspired
