This One [Decision] Changed My Week: Why You Should Try a Microtrip

The Reason You Might Be Feeling Overwhelmed...
Let’s be honest. Most Christian professionals are exhausted. We tell ourselves we’ll rest “someday,” maybe when we retire—or get that next promotion. But the truth is, your body, your mind, and your spirit weren’t built for nonstop hustle.
Here’s the good news: You don’t need a 10-day vacation to feel renewed. A microtrip—just 1 or 2 nights away—can reset your brain, your body, and your soul.
Scripture + Science Agree: You’re Allowed to Step Away
Even Jesus rested. In Mark 6:31, He told His disciples, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” He knew that constant work without pause could lead to burnout.
Science confirms this. Studies show that even short getaways can lower cortisol (your stress hormone), improve heart health, boost focus, and even strengthen your immune system.
One study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who took frequent short vacations had more lasting happiness than those who only took one big trip per year.
What a Microtrip Can Look Like
It doesn’t have to be fancy—or far. It could be:
48 hours at a cabin in the woods
A quiet inn by the beach
A city staycation where you unplug and explore
In one story, a traveler spent just 2 days in St. Thomas. He sipped poolside drinks, took hammock naps, enjoyed fresh sushi, and tasted key lime pie that, apparently, changed lives. He returned with more than a tan—he came back grounded.
Try This:
Open your calendar. Find a 48-hour window.
Choose a place within 2 hours of home—nature, spa, a quiet hotel, wherever you feel peace.
Turn your phone on “do not disturb.” Bring a journal, a Bible, and maybe a book that inspires you.
Return. Rested. Refocused. Reconnected to God.
“He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”
—Psalm 23:2–3
God built you for purpose—but not without pause. A microtrip might be just what your spirit (and nervous system) has been waiting for.
