18th July 2016
Travel is one of life’s true joys. You can escape the monotony of everyday life and explore a new and exciting place. The change of scenery and people leaves your body feeling new and refreshed which allows you to come back to your normal life with a fresh outlook. This is a list of reasons why you should book your next holiday. Soon.
1. Planning a new holiday is exciting
1. Planning a new holiday is exciting
Whether you are going alone, or with friends and family, the original planning stages of a trip are always exciting. The whole world is your oyster at this point! Do you dream of Paris in the summer or a Canadian winter? Do you want to travel far and wide or just hop to the town nearby? Now is your time to decide. Do that internet research! Share exciting plans with friends! Book some tickets for flights and events! It will only help to build your anticipation.
2. You can mentally escape the daily grind
I love my job. I really do! But some days are long. Some days you want to come home, curl up under your covers to hide away from the world until the day ends. On those days, looking forward to your future holiday can take you mind off everything that has gone wrong. Just imagine yourself lying on the beach in Fiji with a colourful cocktail in your hand and the warm sun on your face. Close your eyes and hear the waves lapping slowly on the sand. Ahhhhh… isn’t that better.
3. It will stop you from making excuses
Some people live out their whole life always regretting the things they didn’t do. I never want that to be me. The way I see it, if you have a goal then you need to start taking steps to achieve it. Take your goal out of the ‘someday’ box and give it a date. Who cares if the date is in 2 months or 2 years? Just start planning. Putting steps in place to complete a goal (like planning a holiday) can actually help you to achieve more goals in your everyday life. Don’t let life hold you back! Take back the power!
4. Actually going on your holiday is amazing
Visiting an interesting new place and meeting fascinating new people? ‘Nuff said!
5. You’ll be reliving your memories for years to come
You are working hard for your money so why not spend it on something that you’ll enjoy for years to come. Scientists have recently shown that when you buy something new your enjoyment of the ‘thing’ only lasts for several months. On the other hand, when you have an experience (such as travel) your enjoyment of it increases over time. As you share stories with your friends and family the memory improves, even if it was a stressful one (like losing your phone in a foreign country – whoops!). Who wouldn’t want to have happier memories over time?
These are just 5 reasons, but there are so many more! Take the chance of a lifetime. Achieve a goal. Just book your next holiday. What are you waiting for? No, but seriously, go!
