Have you ever thought about planning a personal mental health retreat? So many people can benefit from taking some time away from their daily lives to improve their mental health and slow down. In this blog, we’re going to go over some of the things we recommend if this is an option you’re interested in. As always, feel free to reach out to a member of our Avalon Malibu team if you’d like to learn more about mental health topics. Our Avalon Malibu blog is also a great resource!
Planning a Mental Health Retreat
One of the great things about putting together a mental health retreat is that there are no rules! You should think about what will work best for you and how you can plan a retreat that will benefit your mental health. Below are some suggestions if you’re not sure where to start with the planning process.
Location
If you have the ability to travel, then we recommend choosing a relaxing location. A beach town is a great option, but it’s also super fun to have a cozy mountain getaway. Even if you’re not able to travel far, you can still have a personal mental health retreat! Consider thinking about some ways that you can modify your space for your retreat time.
Books
Bringing some mental health books is a great option. Take some time to consider mental health topics you’re interested in and then head to the bookstore. While you’re there, consider buying a journal that you can use on your retreat!
Stress Reduction
An important component of a mental health retreat is stress reduction. It’s the perfect time to explore new stress reduction options and find solutions that work for you. Whether it be yoga, meditation, or painting, there are lots of options for ways that you can manage your stress and take some time to specifically focus on your mental health.
