"I can't afford it...."

"I don't have time...."

"Who will help me with the kids...."

"I won't know anyone...."

"Maybe next time."

The brain is similar to a search engine in that it will show you what you seek to find in the fastest way possible. However, how you phrase it in the search bar can drastically change the outcome. If we look for reasons why we can't/shouldn't do something, our mind will provide an endless list of them.

If, for example, you want to do something but constantly seek reasons to justify why you can't, your brain will provide them. However, if you reframe the thought from "should, I go to this event?" into "what would it take for me to get to this event?" you will find solutions to support your desire at your fingertips. Your thoughts, feelings, and actions will shift into possibilities and strategic planning instead of sabotaging the opportunity.

Once again, you pass by an experience hoping it will work out "next time." Often, you don't seek solutions because you are putting kids, spouses, work, and other obligations before your own needs...which is precisely why a women's retreat is so necessary in the first place! Before you know it, "next time" has arrived, and the opportunity is there, yet, the mindset to embrace the option is not.

So if you're looking for reasons why you should go on a women's retreat, your brain has found them!

**Relax and Recharge**

You can easily argue that taking a break from daily routine and the grind of life is necessary. A necessity, but also not easy. Which is often why it doesn't get done. It's "easier" to stay the course. However, the benefit of focusing on your physical, mental, and emotional health is worth the investment of time and money. You deserve to have time to relax and disconnect. You are constantly giving to everyone and everything. Prioritizing some time and SPACE to physically and mentally reset is essential to how you operate in your daily life.

Connection and Reflection

You were forced into a different way of life for over two years, and much of it was isolating and polarizing. Often it feels like an island, and the only connection to others is via your daily life responsibilities and social media. Neither of which is entirely fulfilling. Despite the fear of meeting new people, getting out of your comfort zone (which is precisely where you need a break from) and surrounding yourself with like-minded women in similar and relatable circumstances allows for connection. A retreat such as the Warrior Forward Women's Weekend provides critical areas of focus to leave you feeling rested and with tangible takeaways supporting you long after you go. Having an opportunity to connect with another woman often provides a safe and thought-provoking space to reflect. Whether through workshops, guided reflection, or over lunch, this is an opportunity to find solace in knowing you aren't alone and provide support to others.

**Inspiration and Motivation**

Whether you're venturing out on a retreat for the first time or a significant advocate for it, you are welcome and will leave feeling transformed. Most retreats cater to all levels and have apparent and specific intentions. Whether it's yoga, fitness, spiritual, or health, immersing yourself in an experience designed with clarity will leave you feeling inspired and motivated upon return. The Warrior Forward Women's Weekend is intended to guide the stressed and burnt-out woman on prioritizing her health to serve others better. You will learn proven methods and strategies to alleviate the overwhelm of meal prep, time management, finances, and self-care. You will feel inspired to implement small but strategic changes that will simplify your life and improve your overall health and happiness.

Action to Traction

Women's retreats, like the one Warrior Forward, is hosting, are designed with the support of experts who provide you with an action plan and pathway to move forward in areas of your life. Attending a retreat allows you to apply intentional strategies to break through limiting beliefs. You will leave with a decisive step-by-step guide to implementing more effective and efficient ways toward success. Fully immersing yourself gives you knowledge and power you can apply well beyond the retreat weekend.
