Thanks to e>volutionista Molly G. for sharing her notes from the road:
I was surprised on my trip to Europe this summer
when some of my "baggage" starting popping up. I honestly wasn't
expecting it to--even though the e>v guide had warned me that
it might. What was great was that I felt prepared to handle it. I paid
attention to what was going on around me and internally and had a
greater understanding as to what was causing it to show up. I
challenged myself by asking if I needed it. When I decided that I
didn't, I sent that extra baggage packing! It was a daily exercise,
but at least I had an action plan in place to handle it.
The prep section of the e>v guide was also
helpful in that it helped me set the tone I wanted for my vacation. It
got me thinking in advance about things I wanted to notice, energy I
wanted to tap into, how I wanted to "be", and what I wanted to gain.
I still think about a moment I had on the trip when I told myself, "You
have to remember this when you are back home and settled into your
routine!" And it worked. I think about that moment every day and
invite it to influence my thoughts and behaviors now that I am home. I
am consciously choosing to allow that moment to affect my future and
that's a powerful feeling.
How has e>v shown up in your travels? What have you done differently as a result? Step on in to the conversation and share your adventures in a comment or, if you'd like to be a guest poster as Molly was, shoot us your story: info@evolutionthroughvacation.com and see your evolution in print!
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. - Robert Louis Stevenson
