According to Jessie James Decker, having an enjoyable getaway all starts before you arrive at the destination. "It's a mindset," the country star told The List. "Planning a trip can be stressful for people. And then once you finally get there, you're so worn out from the planning." To avoid that burnout, Decker recommended enlisting help when making your plans so that you don't have to get bogged down in all the details. "That way, you can be relaxed throughout the whole process. That's what I love about this contest, the Secret Escapes, is it's just all laid out for you. You don't have to do any of the work. You just show up and enjoy yourself."
Being relaxed on vacation goes beyond the planning stage. It's also about your attitude once you arrive. Even if you have plans for your trip, Decker recommended not being strict with your itinerary and leaving room for improvisation. "I try to be spontaneous. I will definitely pick out the cities and do my research on why they're great, but I like to get to a place, kind of feel out the vibe, and then go from there." You can spend hours and hours stressing out, planning only to feel different when the day arrives. "You could plan a whole bunch of things and then get somewhere, and you're like, 'You know what? Where I'm at right now, I don't need to leave,'" Decker said.
