Going on vacation alone may be just what you need to relax and unwind. Forgetting about what is driving you crazy, even if only for a few days, can give you the motivation you need to return to normal life refreshed and ready to take on the world.

Resorts often have massage therapists on staff that are available to smooth away your worries and allow you to pamper yourself. Day spas offer manicures, pedicures, facials and body wraps that, not only make you feel good, but have healing properties as well.
