As the new year approaches, many of us take time to reflect on the past 365 days and explore what we want to do differently for the next. Maybe we set goals to prioritize our health, be more balanced when it comes to work, or to increase the amount of time we spend with the people we love. A great way of doing all three of those elements is by traveling to an amazing destination like 30A. Consider traveling to 30A as a New Year’s resolution!
What Makes a Good New Year’s Resolution?
A good New Year’s resolution is one that inspires genuine change. We’re all usually tempted to put “get more active” as our first resolution, so we make plans to get a gym membership and start working out. However, that goal usually fizzles once life gets busy. A great way to prioritize health, specifically mental health, is by taking a trip. It can be just the kickstart you need for the new year. A trip to a destination like 30A will offer you rest, relaxation, and a reset as you experience life from a new perspective.
When you make travel part of your resolutions, you’ll be investing in having new experiences and making memories that enrich your life. You’ll be investing in yourself and what makes you thrive. Traveling to 30A means you can slow down, reconnect with yourself and loved ones, get active, and try new things. Doing these things in a beautiful locale doesn’t hurt either. The soft sugary sands, shimmering emerald waters, and laid-back coastal environment will help you prioritize what you want out of the new year.
Refresh Your Mind and Body by the Sea
There’s something healing and restorative about being by the water. When traveling to 30A, there are plenty of ways to experience vitamin sea. Take morning walks as the sun rises. Sip your morning coffee while admiring the view. This type of peace can’t be purchased, only felt. Studies have shown that spending time near the ocean can reduce stress and enhance your mood and outlook on life. These are great ways to be feeling as you enter the new year.
Get a little active during your time on 30A. There are local bike paths and hiking trails to explore. Or you can opt to go kayaking or paddleboarding on a rare coastal dune lake. And there are ways to care for your overall wellness, like eating fresh local foods, having a treat at a café, and just enjoying various ways to nourish yourself on 30A. Taking care of yourself is easy to do on 30A.
Strengthen Bonds and Create Meaningful Memories
If your New Year’s resolution involves spending more time with family or reconnecting with friends, traveling to 30A is a perfect way to make it happen. The easygoing way of life here encourages genuine connection. You can slow down and communicate instead of rushing through daily routines and staring at phone screens.
Share meals and moments together. Walk down to the beach and spend the day there soaking up the view, laughing, and really enjoying each others company. Check out new to you beach towns like Seaside, WaterColor, or Rosemary Beach. Have a bonfire on the beach. Traveling to 30A together will build stronger relationships and friendships with the people in your life.
Reignite Your Creativity and Sense of Purpose
Trips can also spark creativity and a sense of clarity. If that’s part of your New Year’s resolution this year, then traveling to 30A can help with that. The beach views and charming coastal towns will leave you smiling. You’ll be inspired by the beauty all around you. With a New Year’s trip to 30A, you might find yourself wanting to get creative.
