We have always enjoyed travelling and seeing
living history, and I’ve been told more than once in the last few months that
travelling is a good way to release stress, because one gets away from everyday
problems. Well, we will see!
I must admit, to be able to sleep each night I go
through the process of recalling each hotel we have stayed at on one of our
last holidays. Being particularly stressed of late, I thank Google Earth for
being able to ‘see’ in my mind each hotel we are staying at on this upcoming
trip. It stops me thinking of the bad things that are causing the stress and
the sleepless nights and the tension and the high blood pressure and the
.......
Fresh air, walking, relaxing are all ways to
relieve stress, and what better way to get fresh air, exercise and relaxation but
to go on a holiday. People don’t take enough holidays, mainly due to the
pressures put on them by their employers, but holidays are important to make
one cope with whatever pressures one needs to deal with.
- Vacations keep us healthy;
- Vacations relieve stress;
- Vacations can help families to bond;
- Vacations help to recharge our ‘batteries’ for
the next obstacle.
We all need a holiday, but between work schedules
and budgets, it is not easy to plan a holiday. This holiday has been 5 years in
the planning and saving. It was planned around work commitments – not the ideal
time to go, but work, sadly, always comes first.
So, in ending I must admit I do feel relaxed (at
last), and I feel ready to have this adventure, to be able to enjoy time with
my family and try to forget the problems and stress. This will be a time to
rethink the future, to work out what is good for us. To focus on new things,
hopefully better things and enjoy life much more than the recent past.
So we are all packed – let the adventure begin.
Have a wonderful time!!
