You know, I realised about a month ago that I never get proper r and r, actual rest and relaxation. It’s just this culture we live in – I think I wanted to become some sort of entrepreneur in my 20s and just never stopped. And all I do is just stress all the time, I spend my whole life just worrying about everything. When there’s nothing to even worry about. I just realised how much of my life I have wasted being so busy busy busy all the time and focusing on all this stuff that, when you think about what it is, doesn’t even really matter.
I bumped into an old college friend, what an eye opener, bumping into her. It was like looking into a mirror – she’s nothing like me, but somehow, I could see exactly how I had changed. She was going on a weekend break and I thought, when was the last time I went on a weekend break? I can’t remember. I’m not sure if I ever have. I mostly work through the weekends, I hardly ever relax. She’d been on loads of Spa breaks and said I could come along and we used to be quite good friends, I don’t know, she probably does this kind of thing all the time. So I went and it was in the countryside, I think there’s a chain of them called Shire Hotels, and you know, it was absolutely amazing. I hadn’t felt so relaxed and, well, cared for in such a long time. It felt so good and I thought, you know, what is the point of earning all this money if I’m not going to use it to treat myself? I guess it’s also about finding your own thing. Spa breaks make you feel so pampered and completely rejuvenated afterwards. I feel like I’ve turned a corner. It’s important to realise these things, I just want to remember that feeling and make sure I hold on to it. I’m going to make a routine of going. I wonder if there are other people out there who feel this way. I would definitely recommend getting away from it all if you’ve found yourself becoming something of a workaholic like me. Try Spa breaks who knows! It might be just the thing for you.
