Life is busy. With smart phones, laptops and iPads – quiet moments are rare. It’s common to feel stress all around us and hear people complaining about lack of time not to mention a to-do list that’s too long.
When we finally do take “time off”, the stressful flight process, busy itinerary and constant need to communicate with work or friends can fatigue our already taxed bodies and minds.
It’s time to “reboot”. Like a computer bogged down and running slow, our minds and bodies can always use a good virus scan and restart. Imagine the clarity and efficiency of operating after clearing out all the stress!
A few days at a destination spa in Ireland’s serene and idyllic countryside is a fantastic way to “reboot”. The Temple Country Retreat and Spa says it best, “To relax the mind, first relax the body”. As a former Mayo staff nurse, I appreciate the Mayo Clinic reference and information found on their site explaining self-care:
The Mayo Clinic recommends that we take control of stress by understanding the stress response and how our body reacts. The internationally renowned clinic recommends exercise, relaxation techniques, healthy nutritional choices, social support networks and professional psychotherapy as strategies to successfully manage the impact stress events have on us.
Destination spas are built with health and wellness in mind- providing travelers with much more than just pampering. Two very unique therapies available exclusively at Temple are the ISHI Choco Therapy and Vino Therapy offered in both facials and wraps that work on a multi-sensory level. Essentially based on grapes and chocolate to maximize their indulgent nature, they are an amazing combination of ancient methods and traditions combined with the best of modern and scientific research.
A stay at a destination spa not only helps shut down chaotic stress, it provides insight and tools for a healthier lifestyle at home. The self-care experience keeps on giving long after the experience ends.
It’s time to “reboot” at the fabulous destination spas of Ireland!
