The stress and strain of constantly being connected can sometimes take your life -- and your well-being -- off course. GPS For The Soul can help you find your way back to balance.

GPS Guides are our way of showing you what has relieved others' stress in the hopes that you will be able to identify solutions that work for you. We all have de-stressing "secret weapons" that we pull out in times of tension or anxiety, whether they be photos that relax us or make us smile, songs that bring us back to our heart, quotes or poems that create a feeling of harmony, or meditative exercises that help us find a sense of silence and calm. We encourage you to look at the GPS Guide below, visit our other GPS Guides here, and share with us your own personal tips for finding peace, balance and tranquility.

Cold weather is enough to start anyone's day off on the crabby side. The temperatures outside might have you feeling anxious, tired and stressed before you're even out the door. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just make an escape to somewhere warm?

Since we can't all drop our responsibilities and jet off to the nearest tropical island at a moment's notice, we've compiled some warm escapes we'd like to make when we're battling the bitter winter blues. Next time you're feeling chilled, click through the images below and take a de-stressing mental vacation to the nearest place where you can feel your toes in the sand -- no airline ticket necessary.
