Travel does many of things for us. Facilitating journeys of self discovery is one of those things. It’s okay, most of us are confused about who we are and what this life thing is all about. But rarely do we have time to search for the answers. I’ve experienced identity crises like everyone else, but these days I’m driven by meaningful purpose. I’m driven because I’m quickly waking up to the essence of who I really am, deep under the surface. But I had to be able to recognise when it was time set-off  on my journey before I was able to take the first crucial step. Here are some signs that might signal that it’s time for you to wake up and start asking questions.

You feel disconnected from the world

There’s a gap that seems to appear between us and the world when we’re unsure of ourselves. We can even feel completely cut off from our friends and family. When our sense of who we are comes into question we often turn inward to find the answers. But what many of us don’t get is that it’s partly through our interaction with other people that we come learn the truth about ourselves. If you’re feeling disconnected, maybe a journey of self discovery is for you.

You’ve got itchy feet

Hands up if the voice in your head enjoys nagging at you. Yep, me too. The nagging can manifest in many different ways. We might feel like quitting a boring job, moving house, leaving a bad relationship, killing a smoking habit, or anything else that would mean a fundamental shift in perspective. Our minds are tired and want out of the game. A chance to breathe. And the only way to satisfy a persistent voice is to listen to what it has to say. It might be time to listen to your voice and uncover your true self by experiencing all the diverse contexts the world and its people offer up.

You daydream about self discovery

Simply put, your head is in the clouds.

You don’t like getting up in the morning

I know that a lot of people find getting out of bed about as attractive as a grenade, but that says something about the way we’re living. To be alive should be a great joy. We should be able to welcome every day with positivity. “And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?” – Rumi But sadly the thought of waking up, both metaphorically and literally, becomes too challenging when it feels like there’s no escape from the cycle. The good news is that it’s never too late to realise that things can be different. The path of self discovery is infinite because we never stop learning. But thats okay because when we live in the moment, the journey becomes the destination.

You distract yourself with stuff

Hands up if you buy crap that you will probably never use. Yep, me too. We do this because it offers us a temporary pleasure – a distraction from the terrifying prospect of self discovery. It lets us forget all the ‘problems’ we’d rather sweep under the carpet, or put aside to think about another day rather than confront them. We don’t just do it with stuff. We do it with TV, movies, video games, alcohol, drugs and all sorts. We hide because we’re afraid of the truth. And we’re afraid of the truth because we don’t know what it is.

You’re always tired

Our physical wellbeing is inextricably linked with Our mental wellbeing. Having a tired body and a tired mind only serves to block life’s answers from view. When we find that we’re always tired, we might be spending too much time involved in soul-sucking activities that totally drain us. It’s not always easy to tell what those things are without a change in perspective World travel offers us limitless, dynamic perspectives that can guide us toward what we’re looking for.

You feel like there’s so much more

If you can recognise any of the following, you’re probably in this category : “I’m ready to conquer the world, but I’m afraid to step outside my comfort zone.” “I feel like there’s so much more out there, but worry about taking action.” “My rational mind files away my dreams for another day.” What’s funny is that the times when we’re truly afraid to make a leap of faith are often the times we need to leap the most. The truth is that there is much more out there, but it’s not going to fall into your lap. The fruit of life is low hanging and incredibly sweet. Take it, it’s yours to enjoy.   In the next post we’ll look at how travel helps with all of the problems listed above. Subscribe to my mailing list to get it in your inbox. There’ll be no spam.

Safety at the time of swimming is one of the things we should pay more attention to. Statistics indicate that drowning deaths result from carelessness, especially those related to children or pets. For that reason, it is advisable to install alarms for swimming pools and thus have control over the use that is given to that space so loved by all of us. In many countries worldwide, the installation of immersion alarms is mandatory in order to prevent accidents and to ensure maximum safety. As the name implies, immersion alarms for swimming pools are devices capable of sending us an immediate notification when someone enters it. This function allows us to know when someone is submerged in the water and thus prevent those who do not have the skills to swim or get out of it from suffering some kind of accident. They are also known as immersion detectors; they are an extremely important element within aquatic safety measures and parameters because they optimize the security of the space and, therefore, increase the tranquility and confidence of the users. They record the movements generated in the flows when someone moves in the water and they also have a siren that indicates when this action happens. It should be noted that this type of technology is designed to detect if the movement it perceives comes from external factors such as rain or natural phenomena or, on the contrary, it is generated from within the facilities of the pool, so the margin of error that they have is very small and the chances of their reporting erroneously are slim. In addition, there are several alarm models that allow the user to choose the one that best suits their needs. First, we have the perimeter alarms; these devices consist of sensors that indicate when someone has jumped into the water. Its use is very common in spite of being able to give false alarms if any object falls into the pool, for example, but they are highly recommended since they are the fastest warning and, if you have children or pets, it helps you to be aware of how they are. On the other hand, we have floating alarms. These comply basically with the same function of the previous ones, that is to say, they give a warning before any type of immersion in the water. However, its installation is the simplest since it can be placed on the edges or simply left floating in a specific place in the pool. Furthermore, in more advanced models, they also control the perimeter of the pool, so they are able to detect if there is movement near it. Finally, we have bracelet or anklet alarms; a much more advanced and technological option. Its function is the same as the previous ones with the difference that they are used directly by the person, which can be an advantage since it provides information from someone in specific but, at the same time, they can give erroneous results since we are in constant contact with water, a factor that can cause their sensors to activate and send wrong signals. All types of alarms are designed with a specific function; protect the safety of users. But, also, it is important to remember that there are other aspects such as the cleaning of the pools, which prevents the accumulation of bacteria and converts it into a healthier place. And, in addition, there are accessories and instruments that provide more comfort when swimming, such as water heaters for swimming pools.

Spending your life searching for things, events, people or places that will make you happy is a fool’s errand. Aristotle was right, however you look at it. The line that follows this quote says, “…similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.” – the message seems clear.

A happy life is not spent chasing happiness

Happiness is hot topic right now - in fact it’s probably the hottest topic of all time because it’s something we seem to search for relentlessly. Being happy is so important to us that it dominates almost everything we do, and new ways to get there are always being studied. But the problem is that looking for happiness leaves us dissatisfied. It leaves us dissatisfied because happiness isn’t something that can be found in the way that you can find a lost set of keys. To truly be happy is a constant state of being. Our understanding of happiness is based on the assumption that it’s something that can be pursued. That assumption has even spawned its own film with Will Smith in it – how could we not be convinced? The problem is that looking for a happy life in things, people, places or future events is that those things are all transient – they don’t last. The only thing you can find true happiness in is the one consistent truth: you exist.  Your sense of self, your own existence, is the only thing you can ever be absolutely sure of – so try starting there.

A happy life of travel

Happiness is not a destination. You can’t get on a plane and get to happiness, and no amount of time will bring it closer. Again, I understand where this idea comes from – so much of what the western materialist viewpoint teaches says if X then Y.

• If you work hard, you will be rich.
• If you eat food, you will be full.
• If you drink too much vodka, you will be unconscious.

If you try and apply that reasoning to happiness, you’re at risk of chasing your tail which can actually do more harm than good. World travellers, myself included, are often massively guilty of this. We seek experiences, which isn’t a bad thing by itself, but when we’re seeking experiences in search of  a buzz, we’re definitely doing it wrong. Moving from country to country when you get bored goes against what most seasoned travellers will recommend – instead try to stay, and be, in one place. Start to look a little deeper into your present experience – the here and now – rather than letting your thoughts take you into the future. Remember: less is more. It’s inside yourself that you will begin to cultivate happiness, rather than find it.

A happy life starts inside

Things that are external to us cannot bring us a long-term happy life – they can influence our mood in the short term, but nothing beyond that. The first bite of the Big Mac tastes great, but we always end up with the McSweats, and they stink. All of these external stimuli have a ‘happy limit’ that we hit after a while, and this leaves us looking for the next quick fix. The path to solving this problem starts with realising that there’s a problem to begin with, and the sooner we realise this the sooner we can start to pay attention to the ‘me’ that’s here right now. Slow down and breathe for a moment. Try a simple meditation and turn inward, presently. Quietly observe what the weather’s like inside yourself and how it’s constantly changing, chasing thoughts that appear from nowhere. Is what we want what we think we want, or is there more to happiness than a 6-week round the world ticket and a new Macbook Pro? When we’re able to stop taking happiness like a drug and focusing on contentment in the present moment, a long-term happiness at the core of our very being will emerge before we even recognise that it’s there.   Did this post strike a chord? Let me know in the comments – your feedback is the most valuable thing I have, because it’s for you that I’m writing.
