A Week Away..

I recently took a week off and went away with my family to South Devon, one of my favourite places to go. (The pictures above are taken from Salcombe (left) a lovely little town with lovely harbour and the other two are from a reservoir in Dartmoor with some amazing views. Both a must if your in the area).

We've been visiting Devon since I was a tiny baby so its become and sort of second home for us, we try and go at least once a year. So for me Devon is a place full of happy memories. When I'm down there my stress and anxiety levels go down to almost 0, its somewhere I can go and feel content and happy. Maybe this is because I'm surrounded by beautiful countryside and beaches, maybe its because of all the happy memories that me and my family have created there but I know that when I'm down there I can relax and appreciate life without anxiety.

It was a lovely week away, filled with country/beach walks, pub lunches and cosy nights in in-front of an open fire. Sounds bliss huh?

I think its so important to have a place where you can go and feel you stress and worries blow away in the wind as I mentioned in my previous post 5 simple ways to instantly improve your life. Somewhere that makes you happy, where you can be yourself, whether its 200 miles away (as Devon is for me) or a field down the road from your house. Every so often its good to get away from normal life and take a breather.

Do you have a place that's special to you?
