However, don't forget the one thing essential for having the best getaway you possibly can. Taking extra care to fine-tune important aspects of your overall health and wellness will ensure you're able to have a wonderful getaway experience in every sense. Here are three things you can do to get yourself vacation-ready and feeling great.

1. Look to the Light

Would you believe it if you heard that one of the most beneficial things for your health and well-being is light? While sunlight has so many amazing benefits of its own, red light therapy has become more and more popular recently and could be exactly the thing to include in your regular self-care routine. 

One of the well-known red light therapy benefits is its ability to reduce and relieve inflammation, as well as help to improve skin tone and texture. If you use a lot of different serums, treatments, or supplements and aren't seeing the results you've been hoping for, you might be surprised by the benefits of adding light therapy to your routine.

From a mental health and wellness perspective, red light therapy can also be wonderful for balancing mood, improving sleep and fine-tuning your circadian rhythm. Focusing on these things leading up to your getaway will not only help you feel great while vacationing, allowing you to get the most out of your trip.

2. Go Clothes Shopping

Has it been a while since you've purchased new clothing for yourself? If you can't remember when the last time was, an upcoming vacation is a perfect excuse to go shopping.  

Before you do, commit to finding things that are not only of good quality but also make you feel and look your best. Confidence is incredibly important and it goes so far when it comes to being able to relax and enjoy yourself. If you're planning on physical activities during your getaway, be sure to invest in appropriate pieces that will allow you to enjoy whatever you do to the fullest.

Also, while a swimsuit might seem like a trivial thing, it's not. Spending plenty of time finding one that makes you feel great in your skin, that's comfortable to move in, and allows you to do your thing should be one of your top priorities here. Just remember to wear the suit, moms. It's worth it. 

3. Manage Your To-Dos and Reduce Stress

One of the trickiest things about going on vacation is managing the stress that tags along with it. Since stress can impact you mentally and physically, it's important to get things under control before hitting the road. Doing so will make all the difference in how you feel once you're officially in vacation mode.

While it's not feasible to eliminate stress from your life, you can lessen its impact by how you go about managing it. Try to remember that when you're stressed out or anxious, inflammation and other unpleasant physical symptoms often follow. Since this is exactly what you're trying to avoid before vacation, make it a point to approach your pre-vacation to-dos like a pro.  

Preparing yourself for your summer getaway will take plenty of time and planning, but there's no need to make it complicated. By implementing a few simple practices into the days leading up to your time away, you'll be feeling your absolute best.
