Unfortunately
we had known the Cipriot Summer in Nicosia: 43 degree, the wind is
like the air that come out of your oven when you open it, the "cold"
water of the shower is like lava. The only way to survive is think
about our weekend and our holiday.
Travel
can give us strong psychological benefits and it helps us
to be better people but there isn't a „no one-size-fits-all dream
holiday”. The
type of break everyone should take is strickly linked to our
mindset.
The
philosopher Alain de Botton explains this idea in his book,
The Art of Travel. De Botton argues that we should ideally have
“psychotherapeutic travel agencies” to help us figure out what we
want from a holiday. This would help avoid those holidays that fail
“in a quiet and essential psychological way”. Lastly, the
philosopher offers a list of destinations
depending on psychological needs. If you want discover his
recommendations, watch this video.
The
clinical psychologist Linda Blair, author of “The Key to
Calm” says there cannot be a prescribed holiday for everyone. She
suggests that those who are stressed should take shorter breaks more
frequently, as opposed to one long holiday. “You’ve got to bring
down those chronically high cortisol levels as often as possible,”
she says. And those with such anxiety should aim to return to
familiar destinations, as “all change is stressful, even good
change.” Meanwhile, someone who’s just retired might go on a
vacation for several weeks. Blair says it takes three weeks to break
a habit, and so a long holiday would get the retiree out of the
mindset of waking for work at a set time. “You’d come back much
better equipped to start fresh,” she adds.
The
travel writer Judie Fein, says that a vacation is not a luxury
but a necessity: “Our lives are completely out of balance, and a
vacation is an enforced way to change the rhythm of your life, to
expose your mind and heart to new things. It gives you some
perspective.”
Do
you want to know people like you, who love to travel? Do you want to
listen and take suggestion from them or share your travel wishes?
