This weekend I went down to Newport, Rhode Island for a couple of auditions, and decided to make it a mini-vacation. While I was down there, I got to experience the beauty of the ocean, as well as the smell of the sea. And in case you're wondering, yes it was cold! There was a huge storm that was coming through at the time, so the winds were unusually high. Despite this, I had a great time. I stayed at a wonderful Bed and Breakfast called Fair Street Guest House. It was straight out of the Victorian Era, complete with flowery wallpaper. I went out, had a drink at a bar, and generally had a good time. I even had a mother try to set me up with her two daughters that were with her! Crazy stuff.
The point of this little story is that I got to relax and had the ability to take a break from everything. It was just enough of a reprieve of everything that is going on in my life that I had a renewed sense of vigor.
If you feel like your life is getting stale or you're in a rut, then go out there and do something impulsive. Go camping for the weekend; take a road trip or a last minute flight to somewhere for the weekend. You'd be surprised what a change of scenery can do for your disposition.
