The travel season is no longer on our doorstep and many of us are looking forward to our vacation. But so that we can really rest, a factor is crucial, as shown in a new study. And it is not a question of knowing how far we will move away or how luxurious our hotel is.
Most of us like to travel. Some people prefer to go on a beautiful beach, where they spend vacation days, read and turn in the sun. Others like outdoor activities, hike hikes or visits to mountain bikes and like to be in motion. Others prefer to transform each trip into a cultural tour.
But whatever the type of travelers to which you belong, the goal of the holidays is generally relaxation. We all want to leave daily life behind, really disconnect and think of other things. This is what plays the decisive role in the success of our holidays, as shown by new studies carried out in nine countries.
How to make the effect of rest last as long as possible?
First of all, the study showed that not only do we feel more relaxed instead of rest than at home, but that this relaxing effect continues even when we return to daily life. However, he is crucial in the way we know how to disconnect from the daily routine.

To make the trip relaxing – whether it is to read at the swimming pool or climb the mountain – we have to keep ourselves psychologically from work. Therefore, you should not quickly check your work mail after breakfast or be available for a team on any problem. To reach the effect of recovery, a conscious break in work is necessary-both physical, that is to say at a distance and mental.
It may seem logical, but in practice, many of us do not always succeed. Even if we leave our work phone at home or don’t even look in the mail during the holidays, our thoughts can always turn around work. Perhaps we recall the conflict with the boss, who always disturbs us. Or we are already thinking of the best way to approach the next project.
No matter how natural thoughts were, ideally, you just have to let them go and hang on to them. Because, as the study on this subject shows, this not only annoys in the moment, but can also slow down our recovery after the trip.
Attention distraction is completely normal
So what can we do not to allow work (or other stressors at home) to ruin our holidays? Just be completely and completely focused on something else. In this case, it is completely normal to “push” or even delete irritating thoughts – we want to treat them, but not now, but when we return home.

So, if you are near the swimming pool, thinking about your last presentation instead of focusing on a closest book or excursion, you should take a little walk or swim. Change in the situation and movement can help direct thoughts in a more productive direction – in this case towards relaxation.
