The Importance Of A Vacation

By Joseph Tranturder


As demands for your time continue to increase and expectations mount at work and at home you can find yourself under a great deal of stress. Chronic Stress on an individual's body can lead to an inability to resisting infection and maintain vital functions. If you are more stressed you are much more likely to become ill physically while mentally you can become depressed, anxious and irritable leading to poor decision making ability.

Stress while beneficial in emergency situations when a fight or flight instinct is needed, can have serious negative effects on your well-being. Your Health Stress certainly does contribute to the failing health aspects listed above but vacations provide a relief from stress and bring health benefits. Leisure activities such as vacations or weekend excursions contribute to higher emotional levels and less depression. Other health benefits include lower blood pressure and improved body mass index scores.

Venue and Timing - The first big decision that you need to make is where to hold the party. This could be a more intimate setting like someone's home which involves more work with the preparation and food but a comfortable feel. You could also opt to meet at an event space in a hotel or a restaurant which costs a big more but is easier to plan. After you have picked the venue you need to choose the time. Bridal showers can range between 2 weeks to 2 months before the wedding. Choose a date when most of the people on the guest list will be free to attend. When it comes to the time of day most bridal showers are in the early morning but choose whatever is most comfortable for the bride to be (remember that the shower is in her honor).

At Home The benefit of vacation applies to your family as well. Having everyone in the family take off time to spend it together helps build positive relationships and promotes communication. Shared family memories during vacations promote the ties between individual family members.

Invitations - Pull out that list you made before and get ready to use it. Choosing a physical invitation or an evite is really up to you. You will have some tell you that you need a physical invitation as a marker of the memory while evite promoters tell you it is about the experience and not the physical object (it also save money). Whichever you choose go with it and create the design or select one from the options. If you are printing make sure to plan on waiting a couple of days for the invitations to be finished. Food and

The next morning we woke the kids up and found a note on the front of our door instructing us to come down to the front desk. Great, I thought, now we have to move into another room. I dressed and headed down to the lobby to see what the issue was. I approached the nervous looking desk attendant (she could see I was annoyed), but to my surprise I didn't find more trouble. Instead the woman gave me impromptu waivers for the breakfast court. They were handwritten instructions that stated my family and I didn't have to pay for the breakfast (which we had not paid for in our stay package).

Large life decisions such as choosing a career path, accepting a job, or applying for school require some time to deliberate and a much needed break to do so. Vacations provide the opportunity for health, work, and relationship benefits as well as the opportunity to make decisions. However, vacations really only provide the opportunity to have these benefits. Individuals must choose to relax during breaks and step away from their life and responsibilities in order for vacations to be effective.

Vacations are precious commodities that need to be used wisely. Whether you plan on flying to a hotel in Norwalk, CT; cruising in the Mediterranean, or just staying home over a weekend make sure to take advantage of the many benefits that a vacation offers.
