Reasons Why You Should Have A Holiday

Holidays are important for many reasons however

, many people neglect to take the time out they need mentally or physically to ensure their continued health and happiness.

Working 365 days a year or near to 365 days a year (6 days a week) is not only crazy but bad for the mind and body.

The mind needs a variety of stimuli and if you spend the majority of the time working in your job you minimise brain functionality, that is some parts of your brain will "fall asleep". A variety of tasks, hobbies, changes in your life will ensure your brain gets the exercise it needs to keep working the way it should.

After a holiday you feel renewed and your attitude is more relaxed and receptive for what is to come. Most of all even if you don't think you are stressed every day events do stress the mind and body. Holidays ensure these stresses are released and well being is rejuvenated.

Here are 5 compelling reasons why you should take a holiday and why sunshine is an important part of your holiday.

1. Exercise. Whenever you take a holiday you will find that you will move your body and exercise in different ways. If you are in a job where you sit all day this will be refreshing and regenerating. If you are in a manual labour job you will find that you will be moving your body in ways you don't when working.

Exercise not only is good for the body but it is good for the mind as different chemicals are stimulated during and after the exercise. Your exercise need only be simply going for walks of which most of us do plenty of when holidaying without even realising.

2. If you normally suffer form aches and pains you may find that a holiday will minimise these. Holidays usually mean a change of scenery and a shift in mental focus. It also means more or different exercise to what you normally do.

It does not mean any physical problems you have necessarily go away but means mentally you do not focus on them and therefore allows you mind to subliminally repair your body whilst you are focussing elsewhere.

3. Get sunshine. Most of us will holiday in places where there is sunshine. Even if you go skiing you will get plenty of sunshine. The sun is very important for mental and physical well being. The body requires the sun for the production of vitamin D whilst mentally the sun just makes us feel happy and alive. If you normally work indoor or in an artificially lit office choosing holidays where you will get plenty of sun is important.

4. Get better sleep. There is no doubt that many of us are sleep deprived. When on holidays you have the opportunity to get more sleep or more quality sleep by leaving the stresses of your every day life behind. This will rejuvenate your mind and body leaving you relaxed and refreshed.

5. Spend time with the family. With Mum and Dad working family life can be fragmented. Children may hardly ever have time with Mum and Dad at the same time. A holiday allows for the whole family to spend time together and enjoy each others company while recharging the batteries.
