Elements For A Healthier Life Magazine Issue 01 | May 2016 | Page 23

Wouldn’t you agree, there’s nothing that erodes the joy of traveling more than complaining or comparing? Negative thoughts and words are like a corrosive cancer eroding the joy you’ve longed to experience. Every time you or someone complains or compares, agree to pay $5.00 to a fund that you’ll gift to someone in need at the end of your travels.

Acceptance is the spirit of a traveler’s spiritual practice.

So, wherever you’re headed this summer, alone or with family and friends, why not make your travel a spiritual practice? Consider: following a morning routine; writing two gratitude lists; giving gifts galore; exploring more and; creating a complaint and compare-free zone.

Then notice how your summer travel has that something extra special…Spirit!
