Isn’t strange how we go on holiday to get away from the old rhythms and routines, and within a matter of days we have built up a whole new set? Family is no exception and the days have begun to acquire familiar pattern of what and where we eat, when we rise and what we do then.

These routines are of course valuable, time-saving devices that guide us through our daily lives but they are silken cords that limit our choices and possibilities too. Perhaps today is a good day for you to give yourself a mini-holiday and allow something new in, something you would normally tell yourself there was no time for. It will give you many of the benefits of a real holiday without the check-in hassles!
