Escaping the pace is taking minute vacations amidst your busy day to calm down, breathe deeply, move your body and give your mind a break from technology and endless distractions.

Whether you take five minutes or a few hours will depend on your lifestyle, obligations, time of day, and other factors. If you practice escaping daily, it will help you manage day-to-day stressors and get more focused and productive while still feeling less pulled in many directions.

“Since 2003, when my first book, Escape the Pace: 100 Ways to Slow Down and Enjoy Your Life, was published, I’ve witnessed an increasingly fast pace of life. The first book touched on ways to slow down and relax. However, it was published years too soon; people didn’t understand its value until after the rise of the digital age.

With the advent of more sophisticated technologies and social media, our lives have become more complex and stressful. As much as we are connected digitally, we may be disconnected because we are distracted by technology and not living in the present moment.” (Excerpt from the new book, Tech-Free Vacations for Busy People).

From cortisol imbalances to hormonal issues, from brain fog to cardiac conditions, and now including digestive and growth hormone issues, stress imbalances can destroy the body in lots of ways.

Knowing that stress can impact the body in many ways, it’s essential to understand how to minimize negative stress and utilize positive stress to achieve what you need to do.

At Escape the Pace, we can support you in your health, wellness, and career journey.

“The inspiration for Tech-Free Vacations for Your Busy Life has challenged me to think differently in recent years. Since I wrote my first book, Escape the Pace: 100 Fun and Easy Ways to Slow Down and Enjoy Your Life, I felt the pace of life keep accelerating, and people appeared to be more stressed and overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything. As a working mother and career professional, I also felt the pressure of growing demands.

People complained about how technology was impacting their lives. They would mention their tech-addicted children getting lost in online gaming or social media. I also heard people say how technology changed their jobs or eliminated some positions due to technological advances.” (Excerpt from Lisa’s book, Tech-Free Vacations for Busy People.)

I wrote my latest book, Tech-Free Vacations for Busy People, to respond to people’s stress and offer fun and straightforward tech-free vacations.
