Summary
The Art of Vacationing Well
It is vacation season, and you probably have some getaways planned. (I hope.) But if you are of the "rest is for mortals" mindset, you are not alone.
So today I'm bringing you ten tips that will help you make the most of your hard earned vacation time -- whether you travel to exotic lands or just stick around town.
We'll be discussing how to:
1) Take time off without feeling guilty about it
2) Use your vacation time intentionally and mindfully
3) Prepare to step out in such a way as to minimize "re-entry stress" upon your return
4) Set boundaries with others (and yourself) so you can relax and be present
5) Learn how to make them positive benefits of your vacation experience last, even after you're back
And much, much more -- all on this episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast.

| 0:00.0 | This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success |
| 0:10.8 | Podcast. |
| 0:20.7 | And that bit of dreaminess is Yola Tango with Beach Party Tonight from their album Summer Sun, |
| 0:30.8 | which I thought was appropriate for our topic today because we're talking about how to do vacations right. It is one thing to take time off work, |
| 0:41.0 | take a trip, but to come home feeling restored, rejuvenated, like you know yourself better, |
| 0:48.4 | having a better relationship, is another skill set entirely. |
| 0:55.3 | And that's where we're going today. |
| 0:57.2 | I'm going to be talking about the vacation mindset, how to cultivate it, |
| 1:02.7 | how to set boundaries around the rest of your life so that you can be present while you |
| 1:07.5 | are vacationing and some specific things to do so that you don't come home feeling |
| 1:12.7 | like an exhausted, overwhelmed wreck who now has a huge mess to clean up because you've taken time |
| 1:18.1 | off. I know we've all been there and I don't want that to be your fate this summer. So that is |
| 1:23.2 | where we're going today on the podcast. I should probably introduce myself properly. I'm thinking |
| 1:28.7 | I haven't done that in a little while. So if this is your first time listening to this show, |
| 1:33.1 | welcome. I'm so glad that you found me and that you found this. Let's see. This podcast is all |
| 1:39.7 | about helping you basically have a better life. I specialize in this sort of thing because I am a |
| 1:45.9 | therapist and a coach. My background is that I'm trained as a marriage and family therapist, |
| 1:51.5 | also trained as a psychologist, and I'm a board certified life coach. So I like to tell people |
| 1:55.9 | that I specialize in love happiness and success. I am the founder and current clinical director of growing self-counseling |
| 2:03.8 | and coaching. We are based out of Denver, Colorado, but at this point, I feel like that's almost |
| 2:09.1 | irrelevant because we work with so many people all over the world, honestly, through online |
