Planning the Vacay for Maximum Pleasure



We all count on taking a break from work and routine to maintain our mental health, but when Gutch researchers tried to measure vacations' impact on happiness, they found that the most reliable pleasure they offer occurs before you've even left home. A study of 1530 adults showed that those who took vacations during the study period reported increased happiness for about eight weeks prior to a trip, probably because of the fun of planning and the anticipation of relaxation. But upon returning from their travels, only vacationers who described their trip as "very relaxing" had any post-vacay high, and it lasted for just two weeks. People whose trips were just "relaxing," "neutral" or "stressful" garnered no happiness boost upon their return. Study author Jeroen Nawijn, a professor of Tourism Research at Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, says that based on this research it might make sense to use your vacation budget to take multiple short trips throughout the year, rather than a single long one.

Rejuvenate your spirit!
