Take a Mini - Vacation 
While you cannot go on a major vacation every week, you certainly can go on a minor one. A mini – vacation 
begins with closing the door of your office, holding all calls and relaxing in your chair. Then close your eyes 
and begin taking deep breaths. Once you feel deeply at peace, begin to imagine you are at your favorite vacation 
spot. Vividly see the colors, hear the sounds and feel the emotions that this special place evokes. After only a 
few minutes of this mental escape, you will be rejuvenated, ready for the rest of the day ahead. 
 
When I take my mini – vacations, I picture myself walking through a mountain meadow. I visualize my 
feet on the dewy grass and savor the splendor of the snow – capped mountains that frame this ideal scene. In the 
background, I hear the sound of water from a water – fall and imagine what the flowers that fill this field smell 
like. 
 
Our minds are extremely potent devices. The subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between an 
image that we envision and one that is real. So this little technique actually fools it into thinking we are taking 
this quick break from our daily routines and invokes many of the wonderful physical benefits of a real vacation.
