I recently received an email from Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey to join their 21-day Meditation Experience.  It was an invitation that I had gotten previously, but never found the time to register for, until last week. The meditative series, “Getting Unstuck: Creating a Limitless Life,” is perfect for where I am in my life right now, and has inspired me to create a regular feature for my readers: Mindful Mondays.

Like many others, I have a tendency to feel “stuck” with my writing.  I have this wonderful new platform through which I can share so many exciting and profound travel opportunities, yet often find myself overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of information at my disposal. The amount of data that we’re flooded with these days–through the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram–can sometimes feel like more of a burden than a blessing. And while I use travel as my main example, that overwhelming feeling can infiltrate just about all aspects of our lives.

When we find ourselves lost in life’s distractions, removing ourselves from the day to day routine through regular yoga or meditation practice can be enough. But sometimes we need a little more, and are called to take a break for more intensive self-care and mindful introspection in order to get back to our center.

This is where I can help!  Each Monday, I will feature beautiful properties with programs designed to inspire mind, body and soul. My Mindful Monday series will highlight hotels, resorts and inns that offer tranquil sanctuary from the hectic pace of life, and an the opportunity create new, meaningful experiences.

After all, don’t we deserve it?
