5 Reasons, Many Miss Being Able To Travel!

 

Different individuals have different priorities, and things, which make them feel, happier, and more fulfilled! For some, this may be living a simpler, less - stressful life, or, avoiding day - to - day, financial worries/ concerns! Many people, especially, after this past year, of limited activities, etc, state, they, really, miss, being able to travel. This may be, due to a number of reasons, and/ or, circumstances, because, it often, means and represents, a variety of different things, to various individuals! With, that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 5 specific reasons, so many miss travelling.

1. Boredom; Change routine: Getting away from one's day - to - day, routine, on a regular basis, often, provides, an inspiration and motivate, to proceed, forward, effectively, instead of feeling, like they are in, a rut! Since, regular travelers, generally, make their plans, somewhat, far, in advance, they often, consider those get - aways, as personal, positive motivations, helping them, to endure, the more mundane aspects. It's often, been said, only, when one, removes, the I, and takes, one person (himself), out of that routine, does he avoid, what others, feel, has become, little more than a rut!

2. Need to get - away: How often have you felt, you really need, to get - away? Many tire - of, the same - old, same - old, and taking trips, permits them, to escape, at least, for a short - period!

3. Reduce stress/ tensions: When, we let our stresses, control us, rather than, using them, effectively, to become stronger, and happier, as well as better - prepared, do we become, more capable of, consistently, reducing unwanted stresses, and strains! When, we let tensions, take - over, and dictate, our existence, we achieve, far - less, and fail, to optimize our abilities, happiness, and pleasures! For many, looking forward to, and taking a trip, is enriching, invigorating, and the escape, they need!

4. Enjoy travel: There's something about travelling, which many of us, enjoy! Maybe, it's based on one of the above - stated, considerations/ reasons, or, simply, because, it exposes us, to something, we find enjoyable, and different, or some other reason! I know, after, over a year, of common sense, public health travel restrictions/ limits, I look forward, to returning, to travel, when I feel it's safe, again, to do so!

5. Return to normal: This past year has disrupted, what many, consider, a normal existence. If travel, has been, part of yours, returning to it, will, also, be comforting!

Whatever, your reason, if you miss travel, you aren't alone! Let's look forward, hopefully, sooner, rather than later, when things feel safe, comforting, and, far - more normal!

Stop Shrinking To Fit Places You've Outgrown

 

Stop shrinking to fit places you've outgrown. That saying is more pertinent today than ever before. Have you ever seen a cat curl up in the bathroom sink? It's such a cool and comfortable place for them to go. What if a giant Great Dane puppy was trying to fit into the bathroom sink? That suggestion doesn't seem like a very comfortable fit. Could that be you in your preparation to go back to work after the lockdown?

If you have found yourself without a job during the pandemic and are dreading going back to the place that paid the bills but you didn't necessarily enjoy, now is the time to search for a place where you naturally fit in perfectly. Ask yourself what you enjoy or what you have spent time doing during the lockdown that might pay the bills because at this time there are worker shortages in every profession.

I lived in a ski area for several years and because of the high cost of living, there was always a shortage of year-round workers. Because of this, in addition to my regular profession (which I enjoyed, by the way) I was able to learn how to fly a hot air balloon, as well as work as a Disc Jockey on the local rock radio station. Imagine being able to be the voice of your town on the weekends while thousands of people were skiing and riding the chair lifts with your voice broadcasting everywhere.

My regular job in the ski area involved choreographing music for aerobic classes, which found a place on my resume that was relevant to playing rock music on the radio. It happened because there was a shortage of workers at the time. This hobby as the regular weekend jock lasted for over fifteen years and paid for all of the extras that my son needed for skiing.

Now is a perfect time to fit yourself in to a place that you would like to be rather than squeezing yourself into that job that you no longer enjoy. It begins with taking a look at your current hobbies, your current resume, and your current mindset. If you can't find a relative experience on your resume, then you may have to perk up your personality and convince the hiring person that you have a passion for the job that they are offering.

Also, due to the lock-downs, many certifications are offered online that require minimal effort. An expert certification can show you to be qualified for self-employment. Now is the time to go for it.

If you love fitness, a Personal Trainer certification can be rigorous if it's your first time to see the information, but it isn't rocket science. Becoming a document signer (usually available through your state) can allow you to go into people's homes for out-of-state real estate documents and get paid by the page. Mobile Notaries are quite popular, and a friend of mine has opened a business for senior citizens where she prepares meals in their own home (no health department or kitchen regulations) and leaves a week worth of meals for them to thaw each day. She enjoys the goodness benefits of helping someone.

The world is opening up and professions are changing like never before. I believe that most jobs will be re-imagined as things open and now is the time to get creative and give it a try. If you don't have a resume, there are plenty of software programs and online companies for less that $100.00 to design one for you. Better yet, maybe you could buy one of these programs and create a resume for someone else.

If I wasn't happily retired to sit in the window and listen to the birds while writing articles, I might try one of these ideas myself. Think about going after that new venture now because you may never see this opportunity again.

Let Go And Something Better Will Come, I Am Following My Own Advice

 

Recently, I faced a crisis that does not seem so logically bad. The crisis was losing one of my portable digital players. Sure, attachment seems like a great thing while it is happening. When you lose something, especially something valuable, but indeed, replaceable. It is rather painful at the moment it happens. I mean some wild emotions go through you, especially when you are outwardly calm and collected about it.

Life goes on though, and it always pushes you to get on with it, and it goes on with or without you, frustration or not.

It does not seem fair, but then does the Bible verse "to them that have, more will be given and to those who have not, what little they have will be taken away" seem fair either?

It has to be fair though, because that is how life logically work, and illustrates exactly what I mean by "B.I.B.L.E.", Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth! Sure, I could make this article all "warm and fuzzy" and less realistic, but would I be serving you honestly? No, I would not be serving you honestly and forthrightly.

Sure, I could tell you, it will be fine if you close your eyes, pray a few minutes and change your frequency simply, but that would not be honest either, it does not work for me. All I can realistically say is my own solution: Work at being better next time realistically when I have the opportunity to and do not be attached to what was lost. If it is found, wonderful, I am not against that. If it is not found and ends up replaced, especially with something better, that is even better. Indeed, though, the worst thing in life and existence is attachment.

For example, B.B. King realized that his guitar "Lucille" was replaceable as an inanimate object, but he as a person was not. If you are having the impression of thoughts I think that you are thinking from that statement, you realize how life works. As long as you genuinely exist, material things are easily replaced, the consciousness behind them is not. Sure, I could be less coldly realistic and more warm, but is life when you lose something "valuable". Only when you find it or replace it with something better is it that way in a sense, but reality rears its head: Faith without action, consciousness and conscience behind it is dead. All else is gold turning into lead. As long as reality works and you work reality, you can do what needs and wants to be done, in that order, however the mess seems to be.

My name is Joshua Clayton, I am a freelance writer based in Inglewood, California. I also write under a few pen-names and aliases, but Joshua Clayton is my real name, and I write by that for the most part now. I am a philosophical writer and objective thinker and honest action taker. I also work at a senior center in Gardena, California as my day job, among other things, but primarily I am a writer.

You Are The Average Of Who You Meet & Keep In Life

 

This morning, while I was working out in the gym, I overheard a very interesting conversation that reminded me of the very wise old saying that, "you're the average of the 5 people you hang out with." So there's this man in my local gym who's always taking up one machine for long blocks of time, and I often see him on my workout days. He saw his "Gym buddy" coming over from the other end of the room and started a "conversation" with him. He complained about how much he drank the day before, and how he still feels like throwing up and that's why he's not doing his squats today. He went on incessantly.

Then "Gym buddy" joined in on complaining even more about his own current work and life on top of the man's drinking escapades yesterday. The man cut "Gym buddy" off in the middle of the conversation, realising he's not talking about him anymore and he wasn't ready to listen or provide his two cents so he invited him to go outside to take a "smoke break" instead. "Gym buddy" said to him, "I'm actually trying to quit smoking. I started yesterday." Then the man looked at him with a long disbelieving pause that was half-filled with genuine shock but I can tell he really wanted him to join him for a smoke. So "Gym buddy" made another feeble attempt to convince him once more, but this time in a much weaker tone, and he said again, "I'm serious. I'm really trying to quit." The man asked him "Why?" like it was a bad decision and foolish thing to do.

So this man started to tell him his own story about how he tried to quit for 4 (short) weeks suffering from all the most horrible withdrawal symptoms and then went back to smoking again. Even though there was no real moral or value to his story, he continued to justify and lay out all his reasons for quitting in great enthusiasm. Then "Gym buddy" turned to asked him, "Then what happened?" He simply said to him, "Nothing. I just went back to square one." "Gym buddy" paused for a split second and then said, "Fuck it, let's go." And they both started discussing about the brand of cigarettes they smoke and suggested to share and split it.

In just less than 2 minutes of sharing his experience of how he tried to quit and fail (in just 4 weeks) he has influenced and convinced someone else to give up their goal and intention in just less than 24 hours. The scary thing is, that was just an acquaintance he probably meet once a month at the gym. There was a period of time I actually preferred my customized workouts from home just so I didn't let in any chance to even come in contact with any energy that was negative. I became a "vibrational-snob".

I remember when I started my outdoor runs, (and by that, I mean my short sprints) strangers would just give me all sorts of funny looks like I lost my marbles. A few even came up to me and told me to slow down. "Don't run so fast." Perhaps it did come with good intentions, but sometimes, people who're offering you the most "opinions and advices" are the ones who're nowhere close to being happy, healthy, or abundant, to even be offering their two cents. They're usually the ones who're out of shape, emotionally, and mentally bankrupt. Can you imagine if that person was a friend or even a family member, which usually is the case, who's constantly talking you out of change? The good kind of change? Is someone in your life holding you back from becoming the best version of yourself?
