WebMD contributor Kathleen Zelman has a message for people throughout the world who are in such a perpetual rush, life passes them by. She points to the planet’s rising obesity rate, saying that because we “eat too fast” we endanger our health. Scholars at San Jose University say that eating isn’t our only issue. Faculty authors published this book: Busier than Ever! Why American Families Can’t Slow Down.
Sound familiar? Do you feel like a hamster on a wheel at times? You can bemoan your situation or opt for a vacation that forces you to relax and smell the roses—or in the case of Belize’s Coco Plum Island Resort, smell the ocean breezes. This small, adults-only paradise offers guests time to think, relax, and get off that treadmill long enough to realize that it’s not money, fame, or power that enriches life; it’s contentment! Find that in excess at this amazing destination.
Slowing down is easier than you imagine
Life may be moving at the speed of light, but on this island, where palm trees outnumber guests, you’ll revel in living on island time, especially if you adopt these 7 habits favored by folks who prefer life in the slow lane.
- Pay attention to your surroundings. It helps to re-calibrate your pace.
- Be present in the moment. This is especially important while engaging in aquatic diversions during your sojourn.
- Wean yourself from your device. It’s easier to do when you’ve left the complexities of life on shore!
- Re-discover the art of the personal conversation over intimate gourmet dinners that help you connect and re-calibrate your relationship and the pace at which you dine.
- Don’t push yourself to do what you can’t. If ziplining doesn’t feel right, there are too many other things to do on the Coco Plum tour menu that will feel right.
- Prioritize fun. Most of us don’t allow ourselves enough fun time. Slowing down has a way of resurrecting the spirit while re-energizing our playful sides.
- Make friends with silence. With only 18 oceanfront cabanas and few guests on the island, find silence everywhere you roam.
