No matter how much you love your work, you can easily burn out by staring at a screen all day. That’s why so many companies encourage their employees to take self-care “reset” trips and offer more paid time off (PTO) in recent years.
The best thing about self-care travel is that it physically removes you from your everyday environment and responsibilities. You can do any relaxing activity you want—even if it’s simply sitting and watching a sunset—in an entirely new place away from your daily obligations. And if you are in recovery, this kind of trip could do wonders for helping you rebuild your life.
But where should you go on your trip? What places will provide the best opportunities for refreshing your mind, body, and soul? Jones Family Chiropractic has listed a few of our favorite self-care destinations in the U.S.:
Elizabeth City, NC
If you are looking to escape to a coastal destination with plenty of soul-filling benefits, Elizabeth City is the place for you. Not only does it have a rich history, but it has an immersive arts scene, excellent food options, and more than enough outdoor activities.
For a relaxing self-care experience, consider going to Elizabeth City Aviation Trail, the Arts of the Albemarle, or one of the world-class restaurants in the area. You can enjoy kayaking, nature trails, golf, boating, birdwatching, and many other activities for a bit of outdoor adventure.
Denver, CO
Denver is known for being one of the best cities in the country for fostering wellness, and there is no shortage of fun activities to engage in. You can spend the afternoon at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Clyfford Still Museum, Mount Evans Scenic Highway, or Larimer Square. If you are into sports or if you are looking for top-notch entertainment, catch a game at Coors Field or a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater.
Denver is not only an excellent place to visit, but more and more people are realizing the benefits of living there. If you decide that you want to move to the Mile-High City, search online for apartments in Denver. You can quickly find the right size and layout of an apartment to suit your needs, in an area that provides you easy access to work and amenities.
Tampa, FL
Tampa is another tremendous option for self-care travel. There are plenty of relaxing places and activities to consider, such as Lettuce Lake Regional Park, the New Tampa Riverwalk, and Bayshore Boulevard.
You can even escape the city crowds by spending time in Hillsborough County, which has hundreds of parks. The cost of living in Tampa matches the national average, though housing, utilities, and health care fall slightly below.
Santa Monica, CA
If you are looking for a variety of self-care options, it is hard to beat Santa Monica. You can take advantage of one of four weekly farmer’s markets, all of which have been critically acclaimed for their fresh flowers and produce. There are also plenty of beautiful and spacious parks in Santa Monica, and you will have plenty of beaches to enjoy as well.
If you are looking for a nutritious and delicious meal, head to Third Street Promenade. And try out the Santa Monica Pier for relaxation and entertainment.
Everyone needs to recharge every now and then. And when you are in recovery, it’s crucial to take every opportunity to destress and regain a healthy perspective. Going on a self-care trip can be the ideal step to take next. Consider the destinations above, and keep researching other cities that will provide the scenery, activities, and amenities you are looking for.
