Going on vacation is great.  Down time to recharge and play is important.

I’m in Maui for the next little while to have fun and play in the sun and surf.  I love it here!

Today we were out and about and traveled up the island from where we are staying.  What I noticed was interesting.

There were tourists running around like crazy.  They were frantic and talking about how they had to get all these gifts for people.

We were at a lookout watching the whales play and breach in the water and there were people preoccupied on their cell phones.  They totally missed the opportunity to be in the moment with these whales.

There were many stressed out tourists out there today and I guess it just surprises me.  The locals aren’t stressed out…so why would we be?

Some people are so used to creating stress and anxiety in their everyday lives that they bring it with them on vacation.

Let’s look at changing that pattern!  Get in the moment!  Enjoy your life…whether you are at work or on vacation!  Let go of the things that don’t really matter and embrace what’s important!

Be in the now!  Focus on what brings you joy and love!

Don’t think that just because I am away in Maui that it’s easy for me to say this and that I’m only talking or doing this because I am on vacation.  I focus on joy and love and being in the now every day.

Every day gets better and better!  I want this for you too!

What is one thing you can focus on to bring you to a state of joy as well as focusing on being in the moment?
