Leaving your worries at home and indulging in a holiday gives your mind the relaxing and peaceful break it needs to slip into deeper and longer sleep habits. Whether you live in a bustling city or a quaint village, jetting off on holiday can relieve any pressures from home as you let yourself be pampered with treatments, activities, and delicious meals. Letting go of your responsibilities can be hard, but as you reduce your stress you will ease your mind, and with that comes deep sleep and sweet dreams. For those suffering from sleep disorders or insomnia, a sleep enhancement holiday focuses solely on improving the quality of your sleep, identifying and analysing sources of anxiety and helping you settle into a regular and fulfilling sleep pattern.
Improved emotional health
There’s no denying that just the thought of a break is enough to boost anyone’s mood, so it should come as no surprise that actually going on holiday is proven to radically improve your mental health. Not only does it remove you from stressful and mentally draining situations, but it provides the perfect distraction from potentially damaging and persistent thoughts and results in reduced feelings of anxiety and depression.
The emotional health benefits of holidaying begin from the moment you book the holiday, as even having something to look forward to can boost your mood and mentality. But once you’re away your health improves even further, with better sleep quality leading to increased energy levels and an enhanced mood, as well as endorphins from exercising and activities providing a natural and effective anti-stress treatment.
It is hard to not let the dreary English weather get you down, and taking some time away on an emotional healing holiday to the sunshine can help to alleviate symptoms of S.A.D (seasonal affective disorder), with only a little amount of sun improving your mood and physical health to no end.
Improves productivity
Taking time away from work can refresh and reboot your mentality and allow you to approach tasks and problems with a different mindset. If your mind is exhausted it will struggle to come up with creative and innovative ideas, but going on holiday can boost our ability to adapt our thinking to face new and unexpected conditions in our environment. So, although walking away from a challenging task might seem like a step backwards, taking a break to step away from the task, learn about new cultures and experience new places could be just the thing you need to move forward.
A yoga or meditation retreat is the perfect opportunity to reset your mind and explore your creativity and expressiveness, both of which are essential to productivity and success both at home and at work.
Prolonged life span
The collective result of a reduction of your blood pressure and stress levels, and consequent decrease in risk of heart disease and diabetes, can increase your lifespan with studies showing that holidaymakers can live longer and healthier lives.
Life satisfaction
Combine all of these benefits; decreased blood pressure, stress levels, risk of disease, increased energy levels, better sleep quality, improved physical health, emotional health and boosted productivity, and the end result is an improved life satisfaction. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, learning to scuba dive, or exploring the natural world by bike, horse, or foot, having a break is beneficial in a number of ways. Taking yourself off, giving your mind and body some TLC and experiencing new things will let you make memories that will last a lifetime whilst simultaneously boosting your mental and physical health.
