Mail to: eagibbs@ureach.comGoing away on a vacation brings numerous benefits. It refreshes our enthusiasm, helps us to know ourselves a little better, and makes us, upon our return home, happier, healthier, and much more effective in coping with stress. The key to reaping
benefits of traveling is in
going away. Hardly anyone reaps a benefit from spending a vacation time at home to work around
house.
Want a reason or two to go away on vacation? Here are fifteen:
* 1. Relaxation: Vacations break our day-to-day routine.
* 2. Stimulation of new sights: New sights give us new insights.
* 3. Meeting new people: Seeing how other people live broadens our perspective on our own live.
* 4. Fellowship and camaraderie: Shared hardships and good times form long-lasting bonds of love and friendship.
* 5. Education: We learn new skills and activities. Remember when you picked your first farm-fresh fruit or vegetable, climbed a mountain, learned a new language?
* 6. Adventure: Travel returns a sense of adventure to our life and improves our self-esteem when we accept and conquer challenges that don't exist in our routine life.
