Getting ready for a holiday is a difficult time for me. Its hard to take care of myself when I am feeling so stressed about getting everything done. I don't know why I am getting myself in such a state. I have plenty of time. When I think of how I used to organise day meetings for 700 delegates, or weekend residential conferences for 200, you'd think getting two of us out of the door would be a cinch! I've always got very stressed and anxious about travelling, probably because I don't cope well with change. For me, a holiday is rather more like an assault course to be endured than a good rest. I always come back feeling like I need a month in bed to recover.
This time I am going to make it different. I intend to see it as a PROCESS to be ENJOYED (alien concept there). I want to be mindful of each and every step on the journey. I want to engineer moments of stillness in the midst of the DOING, in order to stop and reflect. I want to have memories as well as photographs.
