The fast pace and hectic lives we live today make our minds saturated and there comes a time when we no longer have the strength to continue. Often, we look at our phones and social networks as ways to disconnect, without realizing that these keep us constantly alert to excess useless information that makes it even more difficult to rest mentally.
Psychological studies have proven that vacationing is the best option to” disconnect” from the daily routine and reduce stress. Vacations not only help you rest physically but can also help combat obsessive worrying, provide a time to open a new phase in your life, reorganize the sleep schedule, allow you to enjoy the company of loved ones, and let you experiment with new interests and hobbies.
Going on vacation helps you reduce stress hormones and allows your immune system to recover, making you less prone to heart disease, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar levels. In addition, traveling can promote an increase in physical activity while on vacation. Activities like hiking, biking, camping trips, swimming, or other water-based exercise can improve heart and respiratory health while building stronger bones and muscles and improving balance. Plus, all these outdoor activities can benefit you from exposure to Vitamin D.
In short, if you are overwhelmed by your daily routine, disconnect your emotions by taking a vacation. Your body and mind will thank you.
