I have been vacationing in St. Kitts for a week and tomorrow is my last day. This trip has definitely been different than past trips. I feel as though I opened my eyes to new things this time. I am now twenty-three and in the working world. I feel that I have so much on my mind sometimes and that I am always thinking towards the future.
When I arrived, it was really hard to clear my mind and just relax. I went to the gym in the morning, did all of the activities, read books, etc. As the days went by though, I felt more relaxed, and even a bit lazy. I skimped on the gym, ate whatever I wanted, drank, and danced randomly.
I guess I realized on this trip, that the key to everything is moderation. Too much pleasure is not the answer. It was so nice to let go of everything for a week, but now I find myself craving healthy foods, fitness, and work. I think that everyone needs mini breaks and indulgences in their life to refresh their mind and to know yourself and your needs.
The culture here is very different and people don’t share a lot of the same views that I do here. This taught me that it is so so so important to know yourself. I truly believe if you get to know yourself, you can get through so much. You can be strong in your moments of weakness and press on through difficulties.
It is a new year, 2011 and I feel ready to take on new goals and challenges for this year. I am now filled with sunshine and a new outlook on my life and a fresh attitude, thanks to St. Kitts and am excited to see what the future brings with moderation.
