The art of FULLY switching off on holiday - why it's hard and how to make sure you really do it this year

With summer holidays fast approaching, this week I want to talk about something a lot of us say we’re going to do… but secretly struggle with:Switching off on holiday.Not just closing the laptop. Not just putting on your out-of-office.I mean really switching off - mentally, emotionally, digitally.And let’s be honest - most of us know by now that this is way harder than it sounds. Our phones are always within reach. The to-do list is still buzzing in our heads. And even when we look like we’re relaxing - lying by the pool with a book by our side - we’re often still semi-plugged in.Half-checking emails. Half-thinking about work. Half-scrolling, half-resting.And when that happens, we don’t get the real benefits of switching off. We don’t drop down into that deeper place where the magic happens - where we truly rest, reset, and reconnect with ourselves.And so that is what this Pep-Talk is all about.In this episode, I’m diving into:* Why switching off feels so weirdly uncomfortable at first* Why it’s not about doing nothing or staring into the abyss (I promise)* What actually happens when you let yourself truly rest* Practical ways to prep for a proper mental switch-off — whether you’re going away or staycationing at homeIf you want your holiday this year leaving you feeling like a lighter, brighter, more energised version of yourself - this episode is your guide.And if you want a written step by step guide to help you to switch off, check out this post of mine below!https://anotherwaywithselinabarker.substack.com/p/your-mini-guide-on-how-to-switchx Seina This is a public episode.
