How to plan your rest?

Vacation is not only a time for relaxation, but also an occasion to look at your lifestyle in a new way, with a fresh look, to correct it, to make improvements, to rebuild the usual way of life, that is, to modernize your life. Usually when they talk about rest plans, they mean the choice of places for recreation (regions, natural conditions, seasons, opportunities for comfortable living, cash costs), but in addition to these pleasant plans, rest time is a time for self-realization, which is difficult to spend in working race conditions.

Of course the word "plan" in relation to rest is annoying, because it means that, despite the desire to "do nothing", you will have to observe some rules, but the about rest plans is an opportunity to usefully spend time and, in addition to relaxation, spend minutes on:

self-education,
health correction,
improvement of living conditions,
search for better conditions and wages,
and on many other things, for which there is usually neither time nor energy for execution.

It's nice, returning from vacation and starting your routine work, to realize that there have been changes in your life:

the beginning of the study of a foreign language was laid (by the way, with practice when going on vacation to another country);
"Tightened up" the figure and made a schedule of fitness classes for the next working year;
have mastered a new massage technique and you can please your household with this and not only them;
tried out the services of a beauty salon and refreshed the appearance of the face, hair or other details of the appearance;
changed the style of food during the rest and learned how to prepare new dishes;
have treated a health problem that has long troubled you (have taken a course of massage, physiotherapy, physiotherapy or spa procedures, mastered new techniques of psychology);
looked closely at the situation in their own home and carried out cosmetic repairs, restoration or rearrangement of furniture, decorated the living space in a new way;
have come up with a new pleasant and productive hobby;
monitored new vacancies in their specialty and / or completed professional development courses.

In order to have time to implement everything conceived and have time to also relax in idleness, you need a rest plan that will have to be followed. This means:

get up early,
save some time to the detriment of tanning, but in favor of health,
alternate sightseeing with honing the skills of speaking a foreign language,
take a closer look at the activities and customs of other peoples and bring elements of national creativity into your living environment,
visit not generally accepted places of entertainment, but those objects that will restore inner peace, help you find new ideas for everyday life and profession.

Do not forget that rest is a time of opportunities, and planning a rest means having time to realize these opportunities.
