Home Actress Esther Perel HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers August 2023 Esther Perel Instagram - Birthdays are a moment of reflection — a celebration yes, but also an annual benchmark, a moment to survey the vista and see from whence you’ve come. I found myself flipping through old photo albums this week, reflecting on my early childhood, my first steps on stage at 3 years old, to studying education and theater at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, to expressive arts therapy at Lesley College, jumping to much later down the line when speaking, improvising, and playing on-stage is still such a part of my life. These memories draw me back through this lifelong pursuit of play, reminding me how formative this liberating act has been in my world and my work. Encouraging me, even now, to continually come back to the play that has shaped me.

Esther Perel Instagram – In my American life, I often find myself having to justify taking a vacation, especially when it’s longer than a week. In my European life, it’s a sin to work during the entire month of August. 
 When I booked this trip, I said to myself, “come on, Perel. Even God rested on the seventh day, no justification needed.” But this is easier said than done. I am rarely unoccupied. I actually find it a very difficult state to achieve. So, when I set out to take a “real vacation” this summer, I made an intention to reconnect with my sense of play. At this moment, I’m not feeling connected to playfulness, such a core philosophy in my practice, and I feel a bit guilty for that lack of connection. This sprawling summer trip took me on a boat through the Greek islands with a few close friends. We celebrated a wedding anniversary, hiked miles of coast line trails, cooked, danced, biked from village to village, did daily yoga, and lavished in the company of women. We played. And we played well. But I found myself plagued by a sense of distance, not the kind that comes with traveling far from home, but the kind in which you feel distant from yourself. Even though my surroundings had changed, I was still occupied by work and home. No matter where you go, vacation always comes with a choice: do you want to stay connected to the world and its realities or do you want to disconnect and simply be present where you are? I think what struck me this year is that while I loved seeing friends in each leg of the trip, I came to realize that what I may need more than anything is a fast. To empty out. To go still and quiet. I am full, of people, stories , their problems, my own…and there is not much room inside me. I need to empty the tank, to digest and create space, that will recharge my system. There are many ways to take a break, and perhaps we need a little something different with each season. What does a break mean to you, in this moment?
Esther Perel Instagram – Traveling has been a lifelong passion for me. When I first began traveling, I had to see as many places as possible – the temples, the mosques, the churches. What building can I see? What place can I discover? Often, the value of a vacation lies in committing yourself to doing nothing at all. Relaxing without an agenda. A vacation means releasing ourselves from the burdens of planning and productivity. It’s stepping away from the “I must” or “I should” that allows us to enter a liminal space. In my recent trip, even though my surroundings had changed, I was still occupied by work and home and thinking of all that I had planned during my time abroad. But, I reminded myself, during your time off, your only job is to make room for serendipity. Now, I’m committed to focusing less on the number of places I should see and more on creating space inside of me for a real vacation, a real break. I focus more on the quality of my experiences, not the quantity of activities I’m able to complete. I focus on emptying out and making space so I can come back replenished and a little stronger. So tell me, what do you need when you need a break? Explore this topic further by reading my latest newsletter linked in my bio.
