Escaping My UnHealthy Life in a Box

Career. Life in a box was my office - 4 walls and a little window. My last job more than any other, left me knotted & drained. It was TOO many years of constant stress and I had new health issues sometimes weekly. Eventually I turned into something like a train wreck, and had somehow lost "ME".

Stress Killer. The scariest day was my dentist telling me I needed to get rid of my stress. Most times I didn't have time for a Doctor visit or a sick day. I knew it was time to plan my escape from the Corporate world.... which took another 5 years to accomplish. Next: get my health & sanity back. See my health blogs: Health Vibes.

Health. Over 25 years ago, I discovered a happiness, confidence, and satisfaction in being a healthier person. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a health fanatic....I mean a girl's gotta have a little delightful morsel once a week, like chocolate.

Travel. I've always wanted to explore new places, the wonders & beauty of nature, history (the older the better), and different cultures. For me, I think living out of a suitcase for 10 years would take the magic out, maybe even tedious.

Besides, I love my animals and my own bed to give them up for long. The max I travel at one time is 4 weeks. I also love my friends & church, and the special comforts and joys of home - there's a satisfaction in that.

When I travel - I always find little treasures on each adventure because I've slowed down enough to see them. I want to laugh loudly, smile in quiet adoration, and keep my inner peace even while my adrenalin is pumping.

My travel blogs are outdoor focused. See: USA Travel or World Travel.

Over the years I learned 2 very important facts.

1. Being healthier doesn't mean boring & grueling hours in the gym. It can be 30 minutes 3 times/week at home and the rest is just fun activities outdoors which by the way is healthier. The activities should help improve strength, cardio, balance, flexibility & range of motion - and yes, walking is included.

2. Using natural & holistic methods to heal & keep your body's systems functioning properly is healthier than swallowing pills, prescription or otherwise. It's also cheaper & time saving. Can't beat that with a carrot! LOL.

This job may seem like a dream, but it takes dedication & long hours. And when I travel, I'm working.

If I've helped you or inspired you - please share my site with your friends & followers.

Health & Travel Vibes

Health & Travel Vibes is a road to being a better you/me. Since I'm passionate about health & travel, I've learned how to slow down & smell the roses. I make time to pray & meditate before my busy day begins because if you're not mentally prepared for the challenges ahead, you could easily stumble.... or have a lovely face plant.... Oops! I make time for exercise, outdoor activities, and volunteering at therapeutic horse facilities with all their animals.

And in between - I travel. With a mental calm, a stronger body, and joyous anticipation, I can more fully appreciate the experience and places we visit. I've also learned how to enjoy the moment, being fully in it instead of worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. And, I've learned how to balance myself with restful relaxing moments when I need them, which keeps me feeling energetic and restored.

Occasionally, my A type personality kicks in - but since I know what the onset of stress feels like - it's fairly easy for me to quickly self correct. It's about finding your happy balance and turning inabilities into possibilities.
