Episode 19: Restorative Travel
Do you know anyone who struggles with "relaxing?" I often wonder what people have in mind when they say, "Relax."It can be euphemistic for "Calm down," or "take the load off." Often, my family and friends think I should relax because they think I'm always working. They may be right. My life, however, is designed with breaks and trips and fun work. So, my life is a vacation....and this talk with Andre Littlejohn opened up another dimension to what relaxing can mean for me: restoration. Andre Littlejohn is a musician, music producer, writer, and traveler. He loves traveling as a means to get away, escape from the regularities of everyday life and a way to be inspired. But where he inspired me to see something different about relaxing is in his definition. For him relaxing is a way to rest, re-set, and recharge.
