For
most of the year we are obliged to get on with real life. There's a
crust to earn, a family to feed, a mortgage to pay.
You tell yourself with a sigh of
resignation ‘relaxing on the beach is not for me, maybe next year’.
You could be short-changing yourself!
People often say they could do with a
holiday and fantasise about a beautiful desert island with white
beaches and blue seas. Actual seaside holidays rarely match up to
this vision, of course. How can you really relax when you are
surrounded by screaming kids and thousands of sunburned tourists?
And real desert island holidays are
quite out of reach for most of us.
Philosopher William James famously said
"Every man who possibly
can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year,
whether he feels like taking it or not." A month of holiday may
seem a hopelessly unrealistic notion, but in principle James is
right. If we don't take time out for rest and relaxation, we become
ill, mentally and physically. Sometimes to the point of total
incapacitation.
However, in real life it is not always possible to take a holiday,
even a short one, when you wish to do so. And if you cannot take a
break, or your holiday is of the singularly un-relaxing beach variety
mentioned earlier, does it follow that you are therefore completely
barred from enjoying any of the benefits a holiday could bring you?
No.
There is a way for you to give yourself some of the major benefits
of a 'live' holiday. In particular, it is perfectly possible to
enjoy the wonderful sensation of freedom from worry that a great
holiday gives you. It's perfectly possible to experience the deep
rest and recuperation that a couple of weeks in a private resort can
also offer you simply by closing your eyes, relaxing and listening
