Are you planning any fun weekend trips this summer?
I spent last weekend celebrating a friend’s wedding in Costa Rica. It was a wonderful four days of sunshine, great people, and good food, but by the time I walked into my apartment late on Tuesday night I was exhausted.
Thankfully, before I left I made my bed, the one thing I always do before l leave for a trip.
Walking into my room after a trip and seeing a made bed always makes me feel glad to be home and ready to take on whatever it is I have planned for the week!
Most of the time my bed isn’t perfectly made (my grandmother would wince at those hospital corners!), nor is my room completely put back together after the packing process (which usually involves pulling out various items in my closet and trying them on before deciding I’m not going to take them), but I always spend a few minutes making it neat and organized enough so that the space feels calm and relaxed instead of disorganized and chaotic. Space is such an important part of keeping stress and anxiety away, especially on Sunday nights!
What do you do before leaving for a trip? Are you planning any fun trips for the summer?
P.S. If you’re planning a trip to Costa Rica, a fun wedding gift idea for college friends, and 10 wedding dos and don’ts.
