Today’s episode is all about how to prepare for maintaining your great habits before, during, and after your vacation! Vacations are for rest and relaxation, but it’s also important to maintain your favorite habits so you can be fully present, engaged, and happy for your trip. I will show you exactly how to do this in the episode!

Please reach out to me on Instagram @aliciadhopkins and let me know what you do to prepare for vacation to be fully present! I’d love to hear from you and I’m always up for hearing different ways people make time for their favorite routines!

Some key learnings are on how prepare for maintaining your habits before, during, and after your vacation are:

• When you're getting ready to go on vacation, decide which of your daily habits are your non-negotiables. Another way to look at this is: which habits create a positive ripple effect on your day? Recognize it might not be possible to recreate your entire morning or evening routine on vacation, but you can prioritize the habits that make the biggest impact.
• Don’t feel guilty for prioritizing your habits and taking time for yourself on vacation, even if it means spending a little time away from friends and family you might be visiting. This is easier said than done, but I have a little pep talk in the episode for ya!
• When you return from vacation, know it might take a few days and up to a week to get back into your normal routine, and that’s totally okay! Preparing for that re-acclimation time will help you give yourself grace as you ease back into your everyday routines.
  

Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). I work in corporate sales by day and am a personal development guru and Life Coach by night. My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
