Everything about the word “spirit” is intriguing, don’t you agree? From its religious connotation and the obvious reference to things that go bump in the night to the animal spirits Native Americans invoke, the word is even used to describe the enthusiasm students exhibit every time they cheer for their school's sports or academic teams.
But beyond these definitions, the idea of losing one’s spirit is also used these days to describe a state of dissociation that can occur when a person is so overwhelmed by the travails and traumas of everyday life, they’re in need of a spiritual revival. According to folks running the Yoga Movement website, there are many ways to retrieve one’s spirit, including these five:
- Resurrecting dreams you’ve abandoned.
- Using your passion to morph those dreams into reality.
- Interacting with people who believe in you.
- Committing to spirit-lifting physical exercise.
- Clearing your mind of negative energy.
Is that list complete?
Far from it, say folks who know that spirit lifting is also accomplished by getting away from stressors long enough to focus on revitalizing one's spirit. The best place to do that? In the sunshine. On the beach. At a destination that won’t require you to circle the globe or spend a fortune to reach it: Belize.
This nearby, affordable, welcoming nation is home to the friendliest people you’ll ever meet, and they understand the importance of lifting visitor spirits. Where to find the best of them? Catering to guests at Belizean Dreams Resort, the property located at the junction of peace and tranquility.
How can this small, intimate, boutique resort restore your spirit? By offering you not one but two affordable all-inclusive packages that cover every aspect of a sojourn, and by giving you room to breathe at this laid-back destination where people in need of spirit lifting come to be revived. Whether your spirit is best healed by a tranquil, laid-back getaway or you prefer one that’s more adventurous, both packages are known to work magic on frazzled guests—especially those patronizing the resort’s spa.
Rebuild your spirit by interacting with Belize's laid-back society
Belizeans have had plenty of oppression, colonization, and strife in their history, but that doesn’t mean its people are bogged down by their past. By learning about Hopkins’ Garifuna people, you can put into perspective all of the issues that are dragging you down while introducing yourself to this culture’s folklore, food, art, and music, a sampling of which you can see here.
If these spirit lifters don’t do the job completely, perhaps news of current resort specials will do the trick, especially if you’re eager to save some money. While there are no guarantees that you’ll get your mojo back after a vacation at this welcoming resort, there’s an excellent chance your spirits will be restored, which is exactly why frequent Belizean Dreams guests keep coming back.
