2) Rest

Don’t run yourself ragged when you are away. You will experience the pit of the mood curve. You will have moments of disappointment. Don’t make each other the antagonist in those moments. Lean into them.

We were recently in San Francisco and had two separate days where one of us was feeling lethargic and disinterested. We decided to adapt our plans (a willingness essential to good traveling) and found a beautiful lush lawn in a public park where the tired one took a nap and the other read. It was delightful!

Building in rest (not planning every second) helps your vacation to be flexible. Sometimes we have expectations we didn’t even know were there until we show up and start to feel wonky about something. Creating space to rest and communicate during your time away is essential.

Vacationing is about being not doing. If what you do doesn’t highlight and celebrate who you are, enhancing what your relationship longs to be, you’ll find the tasks frustrating and divisive.

Create time to rest. There is nothing more intimate than resting with a person. Just not doing anything together. It has a way of making the rest of the world melt away. Which may be just the jolt your relationship needs.
