032: How to Recreate the ‘Vacation Sensation’

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we offer concrete strategies backed by research to bring vacation home with us and into our everyday lives.

On vacation, time slows + senses heighten. Slowly but surely, we find ourselves utterly relaxed.

I call this the Vacation Sensation. 

But there’s a major glitch, + it’s this: Upon returning home, the stresses we ran from inevitably catch us yet again. 

Is it possible to keep vacation mode alive well after returning home? If so, how?

I’ve done the research for you. This week, I’m thrilled to offer 13 empirically-based strategies to bring the Vacation Sensation into our daily lives.

Enjoy!

Living Seasonally, Not Commercially

What is the "holiday season", really?

Savvy marketers have inserted gingerbread lattes, blow up lawn decor, and lots of gifts as synonymous with December. But we aren't in some made-up season of buying; instead, we are approaching the Winter Solstice. And when nature is our guide, living seasonally is less about shopping hauls and more about existing in pace with the changing seasons.

In a world where we can buy just about anything, it takes intention to live in alignment with nature. On today's show Bailey Van Tassel offers suggestions for weaving what's outside your front door — not what's in Target! — into your seasonal celebrations.

Here's a preview:

[11:00] Transitioning from commercialized seasonal living to interacting with nature at your feet

[15:00] The ways in which nature's pace complements modern life (if, of course, we allow it)

[19:30] Minimalists, unite! Don't buy more ultra-trendy seasonal stuff; do this instead

[25:00] Slow down your life by making your family traditions crave-able

[33:00] Connections between seasons of a year and seasons of a life
