Time is our most precious good in the 21st century and every second person you’ve met is under constant stress. The hectic world we are living in, makes our heart beat faster while we try to accomplish every task on our daily to do list. This leads inevitably to a higher blood pressure and finally can bring your heart to a stop. Forever. That is why you need to take care.
Care taking
In this lightning fast spinning carousel called live, we have to take extra care of our mental health, bodily wellbeing and level of stress. Not every stress is bad, as we need different levels of action potential and adrenaline rising to do sports, concentrate or be extremely happy about something. These are point situations that are normal and necessary for the function of your body. However, constant agitation turns into chronic stress, which can shorten your lifespan.
Constant stress is bad for you!
Furthermore, the speed of our daily life tempt us to do multitasking: eating while watching Netflix, being in a conference call and writing emails at the same time. Working from your phone wherever you are.
When was the last time you did literally nothing?
Just sitting somewhere and letting your eyes and mind wander?
A guilty conscious will prevent us from doing that, but vacation time is like a free pass for letting go, enjoying and just being in the moment.
Decreasing stress
That is why an effective way of de-stressing is going on a vacation. In fact around 80% use their travel to relax and refresh from a stressful work environment.

Is it as simple? Yes and no. To get the maximum benefit for your mental and bodily health, you have to choose a relaxing place to switch your mind off and let yourself fall. Running from every sight to the next and trying every spot an Influencer posted on their travel profile will cause the opposite effect.
Slow life
That is why we at Only Summer reduce the velocity to create a relaxing environment during your stay. What exactly does that mean and can you already start to reduce your stress even before your vacation start?
Read our tips and tricks to incorporate a stress reduced life.
Mental health
A lot of our stress is caused by ourselves. The constant comparison with others, the amount of work we take on and the never ending to do list we convulsively try to finish. Let’s stop that vicious circle for some simple breathing exercise: the 4x4 method.
Breathe in counting to 4.
Hold your breath counting to 4.
Breathe out counting to 4.
Hold counting to 4.
Looking primitive albeit being very effective to calm you down in a stressful situation, this method can be practised everywhere.
Why don’t you give it a try and practice it a little bit?
A step further is meditation to train your mind to not torture you with endless worries about the future, vivid images about old mistakes and ‘must-do’s on your list. There are many free apps available and also YouTubers where you can find what you need.
Yoga
Yes, yoga! The lifestyle of this nowadays sport is weaving its way into society for several decades now. However, in recent years with having a healthy work-life-balance becoming crucial for one’s sanity, yoga seems like an all round deal. That is why this practice is a perfect match for our brand. At our property at LA FINCA you can find a wooden yoga platform to do your daily sun salutation beneath decade old olive trees. We are proud to hold regular retreats there to help people like you to integrate this healthy lifestyle. You can also book your private instructor to get a 1-on-1 intensive lesson in the privacy of our territory near Llubí.
Interior design
Next to these active steps we have taken some subtle ones, too. All our vacation homes are decorated minimalistic with the occasional eye-catcher so your eyes can relax as well.
Our colour scheme of white, beige and brown reflex the nature surrounding our properties so that every room blends into their environment without overstimulation. Therefore, we hope we could give you some useful insights and can make your next vacation stay relaxing and enjoyable.
