Vacationing Solo – A Lesson in Self-Care

I am going on a solo vacation next week to Kripalu Yoga Center in the Berkshires. The last time I went away by myself was in the summer of 2000 and it just happened to be at Kripalu. It is no small coincidence that I am going there. Kripalu is the perfect place to chill out and relax, something I’m getting better at.

I am looking forward to spending long awaited quality time with just me, myself and I. I hope to be good company and just go with the flow. I have no big plans for the week. Of course I do want to practice yoga and be outdoors in the beautiful Berkshires.

While I enjoy vacationing with my husband and kids, I need some time alone. My work also keeps me busy helping, inspiring, motivating and teaching people to lead a healthy lifestyle.  It is demanding work that calls for self care as well. Who doesn’t need self care in this day and age?  The question is what is self care? What does that mean for you? What do you do to take care of you?
