On Retreat At Home
Your home in Yorba Linda will be a “retreat” while still
being at home, or at least a short drive from your home. People go on retreats to get away from the
grind. Even the most notoriously driven
military figures, coaches, business leaders and confessed workaholics agree:
one has to take a break from the battle if one is to remain effective in the
battle. We are calibrated for a rest
break. Tradition holds a “divine
endorsement” of roughly one seventh of a week devoted to rest. If you make your home in Yorba Linda and you
only have that small fraction of a week to enjoy your home, you will find that
it will be enough.
Residents of Yorba Linda enjoy a retreat environment mere
moments from anywhere in town. One of my
favorite examples of retreat-at-home Yorba Linda are the world-class hiking and
biking trails throughout Yorba Linda and surrounding areas. Chino Hills State Park is perhaps the best
known and one of the most versatile outdoor recreation centers in the Southern
California region, boasting over 14,100 acres of hiking, biking, camping and
horseback riding among unparalleled natural splendor. The Chino Hills State Park Discovery Center
is open Friday through Monday from 8 AM to 5 PM. It is located at 4500 Carbon
Canyon Road in the City of Brea. Since
everyone is designed for a rest break, why not find genuine, away-from-it-all
rest someplace close to home?
As a long time hiking and biking enthusiast myself, I can
tell you the trails of Chino Hills State Park and many more trails winding in and
around Yorba Linda make for incredible recalibration and exercise which
simultaneously relaxes. While I have
nothing against those who prefer to drive the same or greater distances to take
advantage of one of the variety of indoor gyms in Yorba Linda to get their
exercise, I kindly suggest the outdoor exercise alternative available around
almost every corner of the city. A more
perfect balance of homey comforts and access to the great outdoors, I’ve yet to
find outside of Yorba Linda. If you are
a resident of Yorba Linda, take the time to enjoy it. And if you are not already a resident of
Yorba Linda, take the time to explore it.
