Sleep more? Do more exercise? Studies show that\u2019s exactly what happens when we are on holiday. We\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1186\/s12966-023-01416-2\">studied<\/a>\u00a0movement patterns of 375 adults during annual leave.

However positive changes were observed for all types of holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the best vacation is the one that fits your preferences and budget \u2013 there\u2019s no such thing as a perfect holiday.<\/p>\n<h3>How to make the most of your next break<\/h3>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already, book some time off and get away from the workplace. Here are five ways to make the most of the time:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Finish up your to-do list and clear out your inbox:<\/strong>\u00a0returning to work after a summer holiday with fewer unfinished tasks allows the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/02678373.2018.1427816#d1e2242\">positive effects of the holiday to linger longer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Step away from the normal routine:<\/strong>\u00a0try to limit work-like activities (such as shopping, cleaning, computer-based tasks) and find environments that feel removed from your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2666957920300069\">typical routine and obligations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Engage in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewillows.org\/wisdom-of-the-willows\/%7Eboard\/blog-articles\/post\/restoring-your-exhausted-and-tired-brain-through-soft-fascinations#:%7E:text=So%20how%20do%20we%20focus,nature%2C%20or%20washing%20the%20dishes.\">soft fascination<\/a>\u201d activities:<\/strong>\u00a0exploring nature is an example of an activity that gently holds your attention while leaving headspace for reflection. These types of activites\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/0013916518774400\">have been shown to provide restorative mental benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Reduce the friction and chaos:<\/strong>\u00a0avoid putting yourself in settings of conflict (such as visiting a difficult family member), confusion (busy, unfamiliar environments) or tension (excessive travel and\/or tight timelines).<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Take more frequent breaks:<\/strong>\u00a0aim for multiple short breaks throughout the year, rather than a single longer vacation. This\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/buy\/2024-55186-002\">spreads out the benefit<\/a>\u00a0with more lead-in time and longer comedown.<\/p>\n<p>The research is clear: vacations are essential for our health and wellbeing. So, if you haven\u2019t already, book some time off and get away from the workplace.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Ty Ferguson is a Research Associate in Exercise, Nutrition and Activity, Carol Maher is Professor, Research Professor in exercise, nutrition and activity and Rachel Curtis who is a Research Fellow in exercise, nutrition and activity all at the University of South Australia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s never been easier to stay connected to work.
