How to Choose a Vacation Destination in the Name of Self-Care

Vacations can be fun, relaxing, challenging, connective, or whatever you make them!

They are also the perfect opportunity to practice self-care!

However, because self-care is so personal to us as individuals, a vacation in the name of wellness will be, too!

When choosing a vacation spot for self-care, ask yourself what you need. Is it adventure? Is it to recharge? Is it social connection?

This may look different in different seasons! If you've been feeling overwhelmed at work, for example, you may want to take time for relaxation. However, if you feel recharged through connecting with those you love, it could be the perfect time to go visit friends or family!

Next, consider how much time you can take for your trip and the amount of traveling you can do. If you have 9 days, that will likely look a lot different than a quick weekend trip!

Remember that no wrong answers — it's all about what works best for you!

Different Locations to Take a Self-Care Vacation

If you're interested in taking a self-care vacation but aren't sure where to jet off to, here are some ideas to get you inspired:

  • A relaxing beach

  • A city where you can explore something new

  • A mountainous scene where you can get in touch with nature

  • Somewhere with beautiful trails or outdoor activities to enjoy

  • A specific place or event that aligns with your interests or hobbies

  • Somewhere friends or family that you want to reconnect with are

  • A place that connects you with your roots

Let your feelings guide your destination!

Exploration as a Form of Self-Care

Many people think of self-care as sitting on the couch, meditating, or generally relaxing and recharging.

While that absolutely can be a form of self-care, it's not the only one!

In fact, getting out and exploring a new destination is an incredible way to care for our well-being.

  • It allows us to consider different perspectives and take a step back from our own lives.

  • It's a time to disconnect from the daily cycles we may sometimes get caught up in.

  • It may challenge us to look at our own lives a little differently!

  • It can be super exciting and rewarding.

  • It gives us something to look back on fondly when we're home, as it's so different from our normal day-to-day lives.

  • It can help us form new connections with people and places we may never have otherwise encountered.
