Travel & Mental Health – Part 3

Posted By : admin/ 458

After having discussed in length the benefits of positive health and emotional well-being of travel in the previous blogs, it is evident that longer vacations are more beneficial than shorter activities. To conclude, let’s summarize the long-term benefits of taking vacations every now and then in this blog.

  • Because physical health matters a lot in the emotional make-up of an individual, travel can be a measure of one’s physical grit and mental toughness when put to test during strenuous physical activities including swimming in the sea or scaling mountain peaks. Travel helps boost human energy levels, which, as a result, can improve the emotional behaviour as well.
  • The most powerful entrepreneurs and leaders in the world are also active travellers as they take the time off their hectic schedule, and enjoy a vacation or two with their family or associates. This also breaks apart the age-old myth that happiness, not wealth, fame or power, is the foundation to building a highly satisfying and rewarding life. Often great achievers go through a lean patch in their lives, and travel can break negative cycles and a destructive mindset in order for them to stay motivated, engaged and productive. 
  • Integrating and absorbing other cultural traditions and practises can make one reimagine their mental and spiritual training acquired over the years as it opens up a new realm of thought. Embracing multi-cultural concepts and building an environment for the same at home or office has its own merits in terms of inclusiveness, productivity and happiness. 
  • With an improved brain neuroplasticity, travel can enhance one’s creativity level and improve emotional intelligence. This proves another point: the more you travel to unknown destinations, the more your brain will be receptive to newer ideas and innovative concepts.
  • The fact that travel vacation can bring down one’s stress levels, and boost self-esteem and confidence is something that we have already dealt with in the previous blogs. 

Travel safe as much as you want; the positive experience derived out of it would definitely make you a better individual for life!
