Identifying and using stress management strategies is am important part of our own Social-Emotional Learning. It also relates to our self-compassion, which is basically about being kind to ourselves, and treating ourselves like our best friends. Compassion is not based on accomplishments - self-compassion cannot be based on that either. Feelings of inadequacy are a part of human experience.
One way of managing our stress is taking time off work, and using vacations to visit places we want to see. It doesn't always have to be a far-away place - for me the visits within 30-minute drive are usually the easiest to do. But I would love to visit gorgeous places like the one in the picture!
