Spring Break Plans: What are my intentions?

Before I head into any break, I like to set my intentions for that break. Do I want to prioritize rest and relaxation? Do I want adventure? Quality time with family? Time to advance projects I’ve been wanting to work on? I can’t do it all, so being intentional about what I want to do helps me prioritize my time.

We are heading into a two-week break with four distinct parts:

1. My friend and I are having a two-day working retreat. I expect this part of my break to be energizing and soul-satiating. I’ve done a lot already to prepare for our time together. Now I just need to lean into it!
2. After that, my family and I have several days together at the vacation house. I want that time to be relaxing and restorative. I’m thinking walks in the woods. Netflix. Books. Hammock time.
3. After that, we head into our Staycation. I want that time to be full of new adventures and experiences for us. And just plan good ol’ fun.
4. Finally, I’m heading to another educational conference where we are going to sell our Monarch Readers for the first time. I want that time to be electrifying.

As I write all of this out, I’m realizing how overwhelming all of this could feel. It’s a lot of extroversion for my introverted heart and mind. I think I need to be intentional about building in rest in all the ways that make sense.

I hope you get a Spring Break this year and I hope you get to spend it in exactly the ways you want!
