Health Tip: Planning a Stress-Reducing Vacation
(HealthDay News) -- Not all vacations are created equally. Studies show that the happiness gleaned from a vacation is dependent on how stressful it is, says Harvard Business Review.
It found that 94 percent of people have as much or more energy after a positive trip.
To create a positive vacation, HBR recommends:
- Ask for help when figuring out details, such as transportation.
- Plan more than one month in advance.
- Travel far from home. "Staycations" tend to be less meaningful.
- Meet someone knowledgeable at the destination.
