Similar to Bethany, that means getting enough sleep, avoiding problematic food, setting a sustainable pace, etc. Agree that traveling with other people can be very challenging.<br /><br />We used to always vacation at fast-paced, stimulating locations like Disneyland. After I discovered I was HSP it made sense why I was always a mess. After that, I made a point to eat more in line with what I did at home, we got two rooms so I could retreat into needed silence when my husband and kids were still going strong, etc. and it made such a difference! We started taking some low-stimulation vacations, too - Muir Woods, the beach, a horse ranch. It was hard on my husband, but he saw the positive results. Having some balance is key.<br /><br />There is benefit to pushing outside my comfort zone, but I've learned it needs to be the exception and not the rule. If the majority of my life is lived within my comfort zone, it allows me to have some resources leftover for pushing outside it when needed. stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566405304837669623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813761.post-19076323012543819412015-05-03T15:35:10.696-07:002015-05-03T15:35:10.696-07:00I absolutely love traveling, but if there is a lac...I absolutely love traveling, but if there is a lack of a routine of chaos, it is too much for me. I bring my own food, limit alcohol and caffeine, and try to get at least 8 hours of sleep per night. This is easier when we are traveling on our own. Visiting friends and family can be very challenging.Bethany @ Online Therapy and Coachinghttp://onlinetherapyandcoaching.org/blognoreply@blogger.com
