I spent the weekend in Amsterdam. It's been 10 years since I last visited and I had forgotten how beautiful a city Amsterdam is. What has a weekend away got to do with strategies for stress-free living? Three days of weaving through cobbled streets along picturesque canals reminded me how helpful it can be to take yourself outside your everyday environment, even if it is just for a short while. Being in new surroundings helps you to observe life, allowing you to work on it, rather than in it.
Loading up the senses with beautiful yet unfamiliar surroundings helps to engage the creative part of the brain so new solutions are found for problems or issues gain a new perspective. It's also an opportunity to park issues so they're not constantly grinding in the background of life.
Below is an exercise which will help you to park any issues that may be gnawing away in the back of your mind. This is a great exercise to do just before going on holiday or even as part of the Friday night ritual so that you can ensure your weekends recharge and replenish you.
Imagine you have two suitcases before you. Think of each issue or situation you're facing right now and place them, one by one, in the suitcases. When you've put everything in the suitcases have one last look around in case something has been forgotten then slam those suitcases shut and lock them tight.
If you find yourself thinking of these issues or situations, say to yourself. "No I don't need to think of these things right now. I have safely stored them away and I will deal with them one by one when I'm ready".
I promise you, this exercise is a great way to end a busy week and ensure a relaxing weekend.
