TRAVEL TODAY 2021 Editors' Choice Awards Introducing TripSavvy's 2021 Editors' Choice Awards Today, TripSavvy is pleased to announce the release of our 2021 Editors' Choice Awards, a collection of just over 1,000 hotels, restaurants, shops, and attractions that remind us of the joy and inspiration found in travel. Here's what sets our awards apart: After undergoing rigorous review by our data engineers, potential winners are individually evaluated by our in-house editorial team. We start with more than 60,000 candidates each year, and fewer than 2 percent of venues ultimately pass my team's rigorous testing and standards. This year's honorees range from iconic institutions like Adare Manor to natural marvels like Puerto Rico's El Yunque National Forest and quirky boutiques like Little Rock, Arkansas' Fermentables & Homegrown Hobbies. We've also brought back our unique "Industry Leaders" category, new in 2020, which spotlights those businesses and innovations promising a bright future for travel. I personally jumped at the chance to write about the innovations and safety measures that Viking Cruises took as they restarted their operations this year, while other winners include Send Chinatown Love, Colorado-based gear company Big Agnes, and the advent of the digital nomad visa. This year's class of winners is undoubtedly one of our best yet. Take the time to discover them, and as you plan your 2022 travels, use this package to find your way—we promise we won't let you down.

Healthy Mind How to Overcome a Rough Past With Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx Amy Morin, LCSW Verywell Mind Editor-in-Chief On today's episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast, I talk with Nikki Sixx, the co-founder, bassist, and primary songwriter for the legendary rock band Mötley Crüe. He's also a member of the successful band Sixx:A.M. In his best-selling book, "The Heroin Diaries," he shared journal entries from the days he was doing hard drugs, and what it was like for the people around him to see his descent into drug use. Now, he's written a new book called "The First 21" where he shares how his upbringing shaped him. The adversity he experienced as a child is linked to his addiction. But he's sober now and he's sharing how his rough past made him mentally stronger. Tune in to hear his story and how his strategies for overcoming his rough past may help others, too. Why Nikki Sixx Is Mentally Strong When Nikki was young, his father left. His sister, who was born with down syndrome, was placed in a residential facility. And then, his mother left the family too. He was raised primarily by his grandparents. The family moved frequently and didn't have a lot of money. Fortunately, Nikki found music to help him cope. Unfortunately, however, he also found drugs. He battled addiction for years. Unlike many rock stars whose addiction ends in tragedy, Nikki was able to get sober. During his recovery he worked through the unresolved issues from his childhood. He's open about the fact that he attends therapy and that he makes his mental health a top priority.   I suggest putting the baggage down and seeing what life feels like to not be carrying around all this because it gets heavy." — NIkki Sixx   What You'll Hear on the Show The "aha moment" that helped Nikki knew what he wanted to do with his life How the first 21 years shaped Nikki's life How feelings about certain events in our lives often come up later What it was like for Nikki to relapse after 20 years of sobriety How Nikki stays creative How Nikki uses meditation in his life Why stability is a major component of his current success How therapy has helped Nikki make sense of his past The role journaling has played in his life How he changed the story that he'd been telling himself about his childhood What You'll Learn About Mental Health and Mental Strength Childhood adversity can take a lifelong toll on us. It can certainly lead to unhealthy behaviors during adulthood, such as addiction. Fortunately, it's never too late to learn healthier coping skills. Some strategies that could help might involve self-help strategies, like writing in a journal or reading books. Other strategies may include professional help, like seeing a therapist. It's tempting to avoid the emotional pain that stems from past trauma or difficult experiences. But the key to becoming better and growing stronger is about addressing those issues head-on.
