Like everything I teach, you do NOT need to do any of these things at 100% for them to make a big difference:
1️⃣ Pack your own food
Maybe you pack one meal and eat one out, or buy lunch on the road but pack your own snacks. Bonus: The more food you bring, the more money you’ll save.
2️⃣ Do at least a bit of yoga or stretching
If you have 1 minute, do 1 minute. If you have 5 minutes, do 5 minutes. Before and/or after your flight, drive, or train ride.
3️⃣ Stay mostly offline
Travel days are stressful, tiring, and anxiety-inducing. Being chronically online is stressful, tiring, and anxiety-inducing. Give yourself the gift of a digital detox (or a partial one) on your travel day.
4️⃣ Prioritize getting good sleep the night before & after
Easier said than done, especially if you’re dealing with a time difference or flying at an inconvenient time. But shutting off your screens as early as possible will help, and so will spending just a few minutes doing something relaxing before bed.
5️⃣ Get in as many steps as possible
Maybe it’s 2,000, maybe it’s 7,000, maybe it’s 12,000. Walk around the airport or train station or rest area. Go for a walk at the beginning and/or end of the day, even if it’s just 5 or 10 minutes.
I hope you make it to your destination safely, and feeling at least a little bit less frazzled 🩵
