Indeed, the frantic pace of life can leave us all feeling a little worse for the wear at times. This is why taking a self-care trip to 'reset' our mind, body and emotions becomes more of a necessity than desire. The BluePrint Health blog shares some places you need to see if you just have to get away for a bit.
Seattle
Seattle is one of the most popular destinations for those looking for a refreshing change of scenery. Furthermore, Seattle has the best of worlds - an incredible skyline and incredible natural beauty that is sure to rid your mind of any worries weighing you down. In fact, visit Seattle for a day, and you're probably going to want to stay much longer. Apartment rentals in Seattle also aren't too bad on the pocket, either, which is also one less thing to worry about at the end of the day. When searching for a suitable apartment here, you're also likely to find one that meets most (if not all) of your requirements in terms of amenities. If you can't wait just a moment longer (and who could blame you) you could speed up your search by looking for apartments near Seattle online and go for the 3D virtual tour route which is included in some listings.
Fort Lauderdale
When you need to take your eyes off your current challenges, why not concentrate on the beautiful seaside views of Fort Lauderdale instead? This scenic city has everything you could ask for as far as natural beauty goes. However, it is the idyllic ocean-side views of this lovely city that consistently come out on top. Like Seattle, you're also likely to find your dream apartment fairly quickly too, as there are a wide variety of homes to suit pretty much everyone's preferences, regardless of if you're a family of one or ten.
Atlanta
Atlanta is one of those places that has the perfect combination of both natural and city beauty. If nature is the one thing that calms your mind and senses the most, then passing the time away in 'The City in the Forest' as Atlanta is otherwise known is certain to take you there. Alternatively, if you need a reminder of all the good things in life, Atlanta has a rich cultural history and is the birthplace of many famous people who have gone on to do great things. So, if you're looking for a place to 'reset' your stale mindset, Atlanta could be it.
San Diego
San Diego is one of those cities with a charm like no other. Furthermore, it’s the ideal place to visit (perhaps even live) if you’re looking for a complete change of scenery. In fact, it’s probably this very quality that makes San Diego one of the most sought-after destinations for those looking to escape the monotony of daily life. Moreover, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to relaxing good-for-the-soul activities in this popular city. For example, if you love animals, the world-renowned San Diego Zoo is certainly something to see. Or perhaps you’re just wanting to kick back and relax for a day (or three) near the sea in which case San Diego has got you covered. It’s no wonder why people are flocking to visit, and even live, in this idyllic city.
In summary, when life has seemed to have gotten the better of you, and you're feeling the need to get away from it all, then you should take heed of these warning signals and take that break you deserve. Furthermore, if we want to function at our best self-care is not only acceptable to do every once in a while, but it is vital to our overall well-being.
