Vacations should be a unique time to relax and get away. You should feel refreshed after your vacation so that you can get back to all of the daily things you have to do. Unfortunately, getting away on vacation can also be a little stressful. Quartz Magazine cites a survey of 2,000 Americans that found 62% “had ‘very or somewhat’ elevated stress levels during winter holiday vacations.” Planning ahead at work, packing, and even the travel itself can cause some stress. Once you have arrived, you should pamper yourself to eliminate any stress and start your vacation relaxed.
Get a Massage in Breck
Get a massage…. or two! Plan for a massage on the day you arrive. This will help work out any tension you have been carrying with you, or have accumulated while you were traveling to Breck. When you start out with a massage, you will be able to enjoy the rest of your vacation. Then, if you have planned any adventures, such as skiing or hiking, you can schedule another massage toward the end of your vacation to help work out any muscle tension or soreness. You might not have time for a regular massage in your everyday life; your vacation is the perfect time to make it a priority.
Enjoy the Hot Tub
Make sure your vacation home or lodge has a hot tub. A warm soak in hot water does wonders to relieve tension and relax muscles. Skiing will be even more fun when you can come back to your place and take a long soak in the hot tub at the end of the day.

Quiet Time

Don’t miss the chance to slow down and take some quality time for yourself or with your family.
