Business travel can be an exciting opportunity to network, close deals, and explore new cities. But when your days are packed with meetings, presentations, and late-night follow-ups, it’s easy for stress to build. According to a 2022 SAP Concur study, 89% of business travelers experience stress related to travel logistics, safety, and disruption.
That’s why having a quiet, comfortable place to recharge is so important. With a few mindful habits and the right environment, you can stay focused and feel more in control throughout your trip. Whether you're in town for a convention or juggling a day of back-to-back appointments, The Point Hotel & Suites offers a quiet escape tucked just minutes from Orlando’s International Drive.
Here are five practical ways to unwind and recharge during your business trip.
1. Start Your Morning with Intention
How you begin your morning shapes how the rest of your day unfolds. Instead of jumping into work, take a few minutes for yourself. Enjoy a quiet cup of coffee, let natural light in, and ease into the day. Consider light stretching, journaling, or planning out your day. If you have time, a quick swim in the pool provides gentle movement and a refreshing start.
2. Take a Purposeful Midday Break
When your calendar is full, taking a break may feel impossible. In reality, stepping away from your schedule for even a short time can improve your focus, mood, and clarity. Step out for a healthy lunch at one of the many dining options on International Drive. Places like Greenbeat offer fresh salads, protein bowls, and smoothies that provide clean energy without the midday crash. For a deeper reset, try Breathe Oxygen Bar, a modern wellness lounge at ICON Park, where you can enjoy oxygen therapy and aromatherapy sessions to restore mental clarity and calm.
3. Create a Calming Evening Routine
After a full day, your mind and body need time to slow down. Start by soaking in the whirlpool spa to release tension and calm your muscles. Back in your suite, keep things simple. Put on a movie, listen to music, or unwind with a book.
4. Stay Physically Active
You don’t need an intense workout to stay energized. Even light activity supports mental clarity and emotional balance. In fact, A study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry found that just one hour of exercise per week can reduce depression risk by 44%.
Swim a few laps in the pool or visit the on-site fitness center for a quick session. If time is tight, a short walk around the hotel grounds can help clear your head and lift your mood.
5. Prioritize Restful Sleep
Sleep is essential for staying sharp, yet it’s often sacrificed on the road. When you're well-rested, you think faster, react better, and stay sharp in meetings. Stick to a consistent sleep schedule when you can, and cut out caffeine or heavy meals late in the day. Try reading, light stretching, or taking some time away from screens to help ease into deeper sleep. When well-rested, you're more equipped to handle the demands of each day.
