Ecosystem for Success: How to Balance Inevitable Work and Desired Vacation

It's summer, work is piling up, vacation is far away... How to get out of the "summer in the city" trap? Between deadlines, the feeling that the day passes in front of a screen, closed between four walls and the need to escape from routine, a change of environment is the fastest way to deal with burnout.

Sofia Airport Center offers an opportunity for a balance between inevitable work and desired vacation, by combining a diverse work environment and a relaxation park.

Here are our suggestions:
 

"Green restart" for the mind

A walk around the lake and in the park will help you switch to a different wave and will also reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone). Look around - the park is a real ecosystem with plants and animals, birds. Feel like a part of nature.

Do your eyes need a break? Don't miss the beautiful magnolias, lavender, red horse chestnuts and Japanese cherries. Have fun with the Japanese koi and look for ducks in the pond. This is a rare opportunity for a vacation in the middle of the week.
 

Fitness during your lunch break

The outdoor gym, bike paths and pedestrian paths invite you not to stay behind your desk all day. Get moving! Sports in nature have been proven to increase productivity for the second half of the day. Yoga on the grass in the company of our duck family will make you forget your worries for at least an hour.

The comfortable poufs invite you to take a sweet nap? Why not? But first, take a walk and challenge your colleagues to a game of table tennis.
 

Change of focus

Monotony kills creativity, doesn't it? Work or an informal meeting in the shared space Flex-R Lounge (Winter Garden) creates a feeling of working from an exotic destination. Sunlight through the 15-meter glass structure and the surrounding palm trees and ficuses are a real rest for the eyes and an opportunity for a short mental escape to an exotic island.

Flex-R Lounge is designed to help with decision-making and better concentration. Silence, greenery and space are all you need for the so-called “brainstorming”.

Gazebos in the park are a favorite place to work and relax, right? Save them for your team, especially during the active hours of the day - until the early afternoon. The weekly team meeting will go more pleasantly and quickly in such an environment.

Together

The variety of excellent quality dining establishments in the complex allows for a complete rest. 4 establishments for everything - from breakfast to dinner, with a menu that covers the needs of all tastes, provide your fuel for work. Shared lunch with colleagues in the gazebos among the green areas helps to build stronger relationships and a strong business community.

There is no recipe for happiness when you work in the summer and dream of a vacation. But with the right choice of focus on the good moments during the day and in the middle of SAC, it is possible. Because you have the blue of the water, the green of the mountain, and the tropical vision of the dream all in one place.
