Best Retreats for Overwork and Overwhelm
I speak from personal experience, when many years ago I suffered from adrenal burnout. Since then, I've learned how to take better care of myself, but it remains a continuous balancing act. It's about knowing when to stop while also putting in the necessary effort to do a good job.
We all experience intense periods of work at some point in our lives, and one effective way to regain your balance is by going on a retreat specifically designed to help you reset. While a relaxing holiday in the sun can be enjoyable, consider a place that will teach you good habits, provide healthy food to restore your energy, and allow you to feel nurtured and cared for without any responsibilities. What a heavenly thought for the overworked!
Below I have curated a selection of what I believe are the best retreats for those that are overworked and overwhelmed. All with a different slant, and a different approach. Take a look and see if any of them chime with your needs and preferences and get in touch for more information.
