Nov 15, 2023

 

In a fast-paced world filled with responsibilities and stress, finding moments for self-care is crucial for our overall well-being. One powerful and transformative way to achieve this is through travel, such as, joining a small group of women aged 50+ with The Adventurous Ewe. Beyond being a simple escape, travel has the potential to offer profound healing, self-love, and renewal. Let’s explore how stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing new experiences can be a therapeutic journey for the mind, body, and soul.

 

 

The Loss of a Loved One

Whether it is the loss of a husband, or partner, or as in Becky Livingston’s case, the loss of a child, travelling can help to rebuild your life. “The Suitcase and the Jar: Travels With a Daughter’s Ashes” is a poignant and deeply moving memoir by Becky Livingston. In this heartfelt account, Livingston takes readers on a soul-stirring journey as she navigates the complexities of grief, loss, and healing. The metaphor of carrying her daughter’s ashes in both a suitcase and a jar becomes a powerful symbol for the emotional baggage one carries after the death of a loved one.

Through her travels, the author not only explores different landscapes but also embarks on a profound inner journey of self-discovery and acceptance. The book is a testament to the enduring power of love, resilience, and the transformative nature of travel in the face of unimaginable loss.

Stepping out of your routine allows you to gain perspective on your life, providing a mental and emotional reset. Whether it’s a weekend getaway to a nearby town or an extended vacation to a foreign destination, the change in scenery can invigorate your senses and offer a fresh outlook on life.

Connect With Nature

Nature has an incredible ability to heal. Whether you find solace in the mountains, serenity by the sea, or peace in a dense forest, connecting with the natural world can be a powerful source of renewal. Take a hike, lounge on a beach, or simply sit and soak in the beauty around you. Nature has a way of calming the mind and rejuvenating the spirit. Join our Walking in Tuscany tour in May 2024.

Cultural Immersion

Immersing yourself in a new culture can be a deeply enriching experience. Engaging with different traditions, cuisines, and customs opens your mind to new perspectives and fosters personal growth. Embrace the opportunity to learn from others and, in the process, discover more about yourself. The connections you make with people from different backgrounds can be a catalyst for self-love and acceptance.

Mindful Exploration

Travelling encourages mindfulness as you become fully present in the moment. Whether it’s savouring the flavours of a local dish, marvelling at historical landmarks, or simply enjoying a sunset, these experiences anchor you in the present. Practicing mindfulness during your travels can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you, fostering a sense of inner peace.

Self-Reflection

A change of environment provides an ideal setting for self-reflection. Use this time away to assess your goals, values, and priorities. Bounce ideas off your like minded female travellers. Consider journaling your thoughts or simply spend time in quiet contemplation. Travelling can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery.
