Steps:
Define the Purpose
Get honest about why you're going—rest, reflection, clarity, or change. This shapes every decision ahead.
Choose Your Inner Timing
Don’t just look at your work calendar—choose a moment in your life when space would actually help.
Build a Real Budget Plan
Set limits, break it into categories (flight, stay, food, transport, buffer), and commit to what you can afford—no guesswork.
Select Dates That Match Your Energy
Avoid peak seasons and emotional burnout. Travel when your body and mind are ready to absorb something new.
Map a Flexible Itinerary
Create a light structure with space to breathe—arrival day, exploration windows, rest time, and a closing moment.
Simplify Before You Go
Cut digital noise, clear unfinished tasks, and get used to slower moments in daily life—this sets the tone.
Set Travel Boundaries
Communicate clearly with work, family, or friends. Let people know what you will and won’t be available for.
Pack for Simplicity, Not Distraction
Take what helps you stay grounded: a journal, a few clothes, and essentials. Leave the “just in case” mindset behind.
Travel Present, Not Perfect
Don’t try to optimize everything. Be where you are—even in delays, changes, or slow moments. That’s where clarity lives.
Carry Something Home That Isn’t a Souvenir
After the trip, don’t rush back into noise. Protect what shifted. Bring one lesson or habit into your everyday rhythm.

Notes:
Pick a Date Before You’re “Ready”: Waiting until everything aligns means waiting forever. Choose your month now—even if it feels far off—and let your preparation rise to meet it.
Name Your True Reason for Going: Be honest with yourself—are you seeking silence, space, healing, or change? Knowing the deeper reason helps you say no to distractions disguised as plans.
Use a Dedicated Travel Account: Open a separate savings account or create a digital envelope just for this trip. Seeing the progress will motivate you—and protect the funds from daily spending.
Book Flights First, Then Build Around Them: The biggest commitment is the plane ticket. Once it’s booked, your brain starts taking the trip seriously. Everything else becomes practical, not theoretical.
Choose One Island That Matches Your Energy: Mahé for variety, Praslin for calm exploration, La Digue for slowness and stillness. Don’t try to see it all—let the place set the pace.
Schedule “Empty” Days on Purpose: Don’t fill every day with activities. You’ll need space to reflect, recharge, and just sit still by the ocean without needing a reason.
Start Unplugging 2 Weeks Before You Fly: Reduce screen time, limit social scrolling, and practice being with your thoughts. You’ll transition more easily into presence once you land.
Plan for a Gentle Reentry: Block 1–2 days after you return to do nothing but unpack, reflect, and stay quiet. Don’t rush back into the feed, meetings, or full calendar mode.
Capture Feelings, Not Just Photos: Instead of curating images, note how the wind feels, what thought surprised you, or what tension left your body. That’s the part worth remembering.
Choose One Thing to Carry Back Into Daily Life: Whether it’s slower mornings, journaling, less screen time, or a shift in values—let the trip reshape something real when you’re home.
