Keep Your Mind and Body Well While on the Gulf Coast

Learn tips to help keep your mind and body well during busy times.

March 11, 2022

Wellness has been at the top of everyone’s minds in recent years. Not only are we keenly aware of our surroundings, what we touch, and where we go, but we are also constantly evaluating how we feel, both mentally and physically.

As a meeting planner, you are already under the stress of deadlines, so planning a large event can take a large toll on your physical reserves. Keeping your mind and body healthy before, during and after your Gulf Coast meeting will be easier with the following tips.

Biking in Gulf State Park

Get Active

It can be hard to squeeze in physical activity while you are away from home, but even just a little bit of exercise gets your body stronger and your mind more focused. Lucky for you, Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are home to unique natural habitats that encourage you to get outdoors and explore. Grab a friend and take a trip to Gulf State Park.  From bike trails to walking paths, the park provides many beautiful ways to combine a workout with sightseeing, regardless of fitness level. 

Shrimp Salad at Picnic Beach

Clean Eats

Getting your share of healthy and lean proteins is easy here, as the Gulf Coast is filled with fresh seafood. Locally sourced seafood dishes include fresh raw oysters, steamed peel-and-eat shrimp, and fresh catch of the day. Avoid heavy, fried food by asking your server about preparation options such as steamed, grilled or baked. A poor diet, even short-term, can cause mental fatigue and physical discomfort.

Beach Yoga Gulf Shores

Relax

Rejuvenate your mind and body with a yoga session. Gulf Shores yoga studios offer private beachfront sessions that are perfect for a small group or even one person. Just imagine stretching to the sunrise on Alabama’s white-sand beaches. Need a few hours away from everything to just treat yourself? How about a day at the spa?

Kayaking in Orange Beach

Have Fun

Remember that little saying, “Laughter is the best medicine”? It’s true! Even in the midst of event planning, remember to take a breath.  Enjoy your time here. Laugh, mingle, and have a good ol’ time whether it’s on the beach with family or at a restaurant with friends. There are plenty of ways to have fun here on the Alabama Gulf Coast! Check out our list of things to do. 

Whether you spend a weekend or a week rejuvenating and re-nourishing your mind, body and soul, you’ll find the perfect blend of wellness activities on the Alabama Gulf Coast.
