How to Reset Your Mind With a Self-Care Reset Trip
If you've never actually gone on a self-care reset trip, then you've been missing out! Not only do you get to explore the beauty of this world, but you get the opportunity to reset your frame of mind if it's grown stale, stuffy, and tired from the burdens of life. Today, GlobalNomad lists a few destinations you just have to visit!
New Mexico
New Mexico is a great place to visit if you are looking for a mountainous escape with beautiful lakes. From an affordability point of view, New Mexico is a wonderfully affordable place to live, with a low tax threshold for family households. What's more, New Mexico was recently ranked as the second kindest state in the country, which could be just the remedy for you if you're looking for good company and conversation.
Atlanta
Atlanta is one of those places you'll feel blessed to have seen. In fact, it is remarkable what this larger-than-life city has to offer. Atlanta BeltLine notes that phenomenal outdoor activities include the development of the BeltLine, which includes 2,000 magnificent public parks to take advantage of. As a vacation rental option, you're sure to find properties that are within your price range. If not, then there are other avenues to purchasing a holiday home. For example, you could elect to take out another mortgage on your existing home, or you could leverage a home equity loan to make owning a vacation home possible.
Fort Lauderdale
Florida is like a beachside resort that you'll never grow tired of. With a laid-back lifestyle, you can escape the pressures of daily life and really kick back here to behold the natural beauty of sun-kissed dunes and ocean blues around you. Florida for Boomers points out that Florida also ranks low in the Cost of Living Index, making it an excellent place to settle permanently.
Seattle
Seattle is another marvelous destination if you want to explore the unexpected. It has incredible nature and architectural beauty and has one of the best restaurant scenes in the country. You're also likely to get by comfortably from an affordability point of view. If you love it so much, you could even buy a vacation rental here to make it official. If you can't afford the usual down payment of around 20% to secure a property, then consider taking out a second mortgage on your primary home to help finance this. The other option is a home equity loan that you could use to negotiate finance based on the amount outstanding on your existing mortgage.
Make it Easier for Yourself
If you've decided that now is the time to take that much-needed break, then you could make the process easier for yourself by making the necessary preparations in advance. And if you own a business, then start letting go of the reins slowly by taking on more work now so you have more free time later. If help is needed, it may be worthwhile to hire a virtual assistant to help you with additional tasks that could even be done remotely. Also, don't forget to inform clients and suppliers that you'll be away for a short time.
Enough can't be said about the benefits of taking a trip to get away from it all. Just be sure to make preparations to leave it all behind in good order so that you can resume as normal when you return. Well, as normal as can be if you've found that your reset trip has given you a fresh new take on life.
