With the fun and indulgence of Christmas a distant memory, it’s time to get on with 2022 and start the new year on a good foot. Did you know that up to 80% of people give up their new year’s resolutions before February? Restrictive diets, work stresses and unachievable fitness goals will never last more than a month. Setting achievable goals and sustainable resolutions is a better way to approach the new year. Here’s how PREMIER SUITES can help.
1. EXPLORE NEW PLACES
A resolution that should be on everyone’s mind now that it’s safer to travel, is to explore new places. Travelling and discovering opens our minds to new ideas, traditions, cuisine, personalities and so much more. You can learn about the history and culture of a place in person and make human connections you could never make at home.
If you chose to explore in Ireland, The UK, Belgium or The Netherlands, PREMIER SUITES can offer you a home from home experience so you can explore a new place like a local. This includes a central location, close to public transport, great places to eat drink and shop and all of the facilities you need to make yourself at home.
2. MEET A FRIENDLY FACE IN A NEW SPACE
This year, we’re putting a bigger focus on our customer experience, making sure all of our guests feel at home when they visit. Our new initiative, A Friendly Face in a New Space, ensures our long-stay or solo travelling guests do not feel isolated or lonely. You are invited to enjoy a coffee and a chat with a member of our team, a perfect time to ask any questions you have about the area, the property or just chat about current affairs. After you check in and get settled, we’ll call to make sure everything is ok and invite you for a chat if you’d like one.
3. EAT WELL
Healthy eating is at the front of many minds after the overindulgence of Christmas. Don’t rely on restrictive diets which are unsustainable and unenjoyable. Instead, make healthy food that you enjoy, encouraging a lifestyle change rather than a diet. Visit PS Life for inspiration and recipes that you can try in the comfort of your suite and take home with you to make every week. We have a range of options from comfort food to veggie and vegan options which you can tweak to suit your tastes. Did you know that we grow our own greens? Every PREMIER SUITES location has a selection of herbs free for guests to use to make your dinner a little tastier.
4. GET MOVING
As well as healthy eating, it’s also vital to keep our bodies fit and flexible. It’s important that we help our guests maintain their healthy eating and fitness routines while travelling. Booking a suite gives you a lot more space than a traditional hotel room meaning you have more space to stretch, jump, lift or whatever you do to keep your body moving. PS life has a selection of mobility and resistance exercises, demonstrated by professionals if you’d like to try something new or need inspiration. We also have wellbeing corners located in the reception area which are stocked with:
- Fresh towels.
- Yoga mats (available for purchase).
- Fresh drinking water.
- Fresh fruit.
- Mobility and resistance exercise cards.
- Local walking maps
5. MIND YOUR MIND
Minding your mind is just as important as your physical health. We encourage guests to mix and mingle, creating meaningful human connections with each other and our staff throughout your stay. If you’d prefer, we also have a selection of mindful meditation exercises for you to enjoy alone when you have a couple of minutes to spare. Mindfulness helps us to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing. It helps us switch off from what’s going on around us and stops the mind from being overwhelmed. Check PS Life for links to short meditation videos from Calm.
