My job has been very crazy lately to the point where I’d love to be back on vacation in Hawaii. To bring my stress level down, I look at a photo of a beach in Maui and turn on a Hawaiian online radio station. Suddenly, vivid images appear of walking on the beach, snorkeling by the reef and dancing at a luau, Yes, I am still working on my budgets and 2010 strategic plans, but listening to the music brings Hawaii to me in Maryland.

If you are interested in international music or want a mental getaway, try the world section of online radio stations like AOL or Pandora.

Aloha!
