Traveling somewhere new is an exhilarating means of releasing some of our “normal” behaviors and lifestyle habits. It’s an exciting, uninhibited time to experience new places, people, food and maybe even discover new things you might want to incorporate into your own life.

Often, however, we can use traveling and vacationing as an excuse to indulge in ways that might not serve us. Yes, it is important to let go of the reigns a bit, listen to our bodies, cut ourselves some slack and allow some wiggle room for new things. But when those things are destructive, it is imperative to take a step back and consider if it is necessary.

I am absolutely not suggesting we force restrictions upon ourselves - I am simply encouraging us all to practice experiencing these things mindfully so as not to cause harm. If we can integrate the act of observing our surroundings when we travel, perhaps we can sneak it into our "regular" lives as well.

Being around new people, places and things is also an enlightening way to discover more about your Self. The ways in which we react to unfamiliar and sometimes unexpected experiences that come with traveling provides us with an opportunity to observe our truest Selves, minus the sheaths we might use to protect us otherwise.
