Activities can cause stress and arguing. Flying or driving to each new destination and what you do while there can also affect your carbon footprint \u2014 unless mindfulness is at the heart of every vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts define mindfulness as the ability to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/what-is-mindfulness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fully aware of what you\u2019re doing<\/a> at any given moment. It requires being present in your state of mind, but it can also involve research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindful travel plans that are also eco-friendly require a bit of investigation. You\u2019ll quickly learn the environmental consequences of your transportation and entertainment with some extra effort. Everyone can make sustainable decisions to reduce their family\u2019s carbon footprint, waste, or pollution while strengthening their mental wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Create_a_Mindful_Trip\"><\/span><strong>How to Create a Mindful Trip<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few ways parents can turn an ordinary trip into a mindful experience. Some are tips you can use while you\u2019re still at home. Others are helpful even if you\u2019re currently out exploring the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Leave_the_Electronics_at_Home\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>1. Leave the Electronics at Home<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindful environments have no distractions. What\u2019s more distracting than an electronic screen? You\u2019ll avoid annoying notifications or tempting news feeds by leaving your devices at home or in your hotel room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opt instead to be fully present in every moment with each other during your trip. Even if you spend your time going to the movies or another screen-related activity, you\u2019ll remain mindfully present with your family by paying attention to what you\u2019re doing with them. It may be an adjustment, but everyone will quickly realize how little their devices contribute joy or more profound experiences to their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Call_Potential_Restaurants\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>2. Call Potential Restaurants<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few ways families can be mindful of how they eat while on vacation. Talk with your kids about what they want for each meal so every bite is worth your time. You can also look up restaurants together and discuss which venues match your sustainable values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out where each restaurant sources its ingredients or if its parent company has a green mission statement. You could complete this step before leaving your hotel room for meals. A quick phone call will reveal if there are sustainable menu options or if the management team takes mindful steps to reduce waste by recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all depends on how your family defines mindfulness. This is an easy step anyone can take to plan greener trips if eco-friendly practices are part of how you and your loved ones want to plan your vacations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Research_the_Environmental_Impact\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>3. Research the Environmental Impact<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindfulness practices teach followers that every action has a ripple effect on other people and the planet. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to be fully aware of whatever you decide to do, especially while traveling somewhere new. Find out if your planned activities are as good for the Earth as your mindfulness practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your family might decide to take a day trip to a local zoo. Be sure to look into the zoo\u2019s carbon footprint before you go. Places like the Maryland Zoo offset their emissions by <a href=\"https:\/\/holidayoutdoordecor.com\/the-maryland-zoo-light-show-offsetting-carbon-emissions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calculating the carbon output<\/a> of specific events, like light shows. Efforts like that will make visiting some destinations more mindful than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even do this research from your hotel room or rental home while on vacation. It\u2019s easy to find green alternatives to traditional activities and swap them at the last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Journal_With_Your_Family\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>4. Journal With Your Family<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring everyone back to each other and <a href=\"https:\/\/revivalist.com\/8-benefits-of-keeping-a-travel-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">center your thoughts by journaling<\/a> together during your next trip. Everyone can pick out a notebook they like and their favorite writing tool. Spend 10 minutes describing each day\u2019s experiences. After the timer runs out, you may want to share your entries to relive your memories and get more joy from your vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/travel-tips\/travel-journal-for-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Journaling <\/a>is an excellent mindfulness activity that you can continue outside of trips, too. Writing about your day turns your focus inward. Instead of thinking about what tomorrow holds or what\u2019s stressing you out, you\u2019ll reflect on what brought you joy and sharpen your focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Hang_Out_in_Nature\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>5. Hang Out in Nature<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindfulness develops an interconnectedness that many people want with their family members and the world around them. Practice this mental health tool by hanging out with your loved ones in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go for family walks during your next vacation. Sit on the beach in the evening to listen to the waves or hike to a scenic view. Resting in the presence of nature <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s12671-018-0883-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reveals humanity\u2019s dependency on the environment<\/a>, which mirrors how everyone relies on each other as well. It\u2019s an excellent reminder of what matters most in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our family makes sure we watch a few sunsets together when we go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/north-america\/caribbean\/best-caribbean-islands-to-visit-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caribbean<\/a> or on any beach vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Reuse_What_You_Can\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>6. Reuse What You Can<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Recycling can be a great way to teach your kids about mindful travel and daily routines. It reminds kids that their actions affect other people and the planet. Instead of stocking up on single-use plastic bottles, you can become more mindful by bringing a filtered water pitcher to your vacation spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pack containers to save leftovers from restaurants and a bag for recyclable waste. Your vacations will become more mindful because your family will remember how their actions are foundationally interconnected with the world and humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See: <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wellness\/the-ultimate-mindful-summer-bucket-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Mindful Summer Bucket List <\/a>for families to relax and enjoy some fun in the sun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Give_Your_Family_Free_Time\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>7. Give Your Family Free Time<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to create vacation schedules that dictate how you\u2019ll spend your days down to the minute. You wouldn\u2019t want to waste time while on an adventure, but leaving gaps in your plans for some freedom can be an excellent way to turn an ordinary trip into a mindful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use 10 or 15 free minutes to encourage your loved ones to check in with themselves. They can reflect on how they want to spend their remaining vacation time or journal about their day. Even using that break to talk about what you\u2019re excited to experience next is an excellent way to reconnect and become more present during a trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Meditate_With_Each_Other\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>8. Meditate With Each Other<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teach your kids the most crucial tool for mindfulness \u2014 meditation. It\u2019s much easier to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parents.com\/toddlers-preschoolers\/development\/behavioral\/meditation-for-kids-a-beginner-s-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">practice this healthy habit<\/a> while away from demanding daily schedules or stressors. Breathe together to calm your mind and refocus your attention on the present. Meditation will help everyone enjoy their time together more fully, whether it becomes a vacation practice or a daily routine after returning home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Mindful_Travel_Good_for_Families\"><\/span><strong>Why Is Mindful Travel Good for Families?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Families benefit from mindful travel in a few ways. Everyone should be fully present when they\u2019re together to genuinely enjoy each trip. Families are also typically large groups, so sustainable travel plans reduce or eliminate significant amounts of pollution that would otherwise harm the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a green learning opportunity for kids and teens. Get them involved in the research by asking them to help record the carbon emissions for your total mileage or read about eco-friendly hotels. They\u2019ll get personally involved in your sustainability and take those positive habits into their adult years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plan_Mindful_Family_Experiences\"><\/span><strong>Plan Mindful Family Experiences<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone can learn how to turn an ordinary trip into a mindful experience with tips like these. You\u2019ll prioritize your family\u2019s time, energy and sustainable values by making simple changes to how you spend your days or plan your vacations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PIN IT FOR LATER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>Note:<\/strong><em>\u00a0This post may contain affiliate links, partnership or sponsored content.
