TRAVEL
How does travelling affect your mindset and life?
What's the first thing that strikes your mind when you hear the word travel? It may be food, incredible views, encountering new people, or exploring new places. Travelling can be so exciting and thrilling and experts suggest that travelling can do wonders to your mental health as well.
Broadens your perspective
Travelling to a new place, whether it’s near or far, pushes us out of our comfort zone. Even if you're experiencing a new way of life in a different country or trying a new dish for the first time, travelling can open our minds to a whole new way of life. Everything you see is new, which will bring you to explore more deeply. You may find yourself at a breath-taking landmark or site that you thought you would never encounter. Or you might stumble across a magnificent view. You will learn about new customs, new sights, new languages and embrace unfamiliar cultures. Travelling allows you to come back home with a broader view of the world and reduce narrow mindedness.
It teaches us about the world
Travelling teaches us how to navigate, communicate with others and learn about other cultures. Whether we are asking for directions in a country or trying to navigate to a different place. We learn more about the world by learning how to get around. When you visit a new destination, you become engaged in cultural history, languages and customs. You’ll get to see famous landmarks such as a palace or a historic temple, visit a festival, eat at a local restaurant and even try speaking a few phrases. As you learn more you may find that there are similarities and things that you never knew before. Travelling is the best way to learn things and to learn about the things that matter.
It provides stress relief
Travelling allows us to reset our minds and forget about the workload back home. Instead we can focus on the present moment that we are in. Taking time from work to see new places releases the stress you’ve been holding onto. Relieving the tension lets your mind relax and heal, and planning a vacation keeps your mind off things that pressure you too. Travelling is also a good way to let go of stress because it gets you away from your problems. Some Ways to relieve stress is by going out in fresh air and getting some sunshine. Sunshine is a mood elevator and helps people not get too overwhelmed. Relaxation is also the perfect way to decrease tension whether it's sitting on the beach or doing the things you love to do as well.
Makes memories from new experiences
Do you take photos during your travel, or collect items like souvenirs after the trip? Photos, or videos, that are taken from a trip, can remind you of good times you have experienced. Even an object you take home from the trip can awaken your memories and feelings. Memories from travelling are often connected with positive emotions such as when you try something new, or the excitement you get from going to a new place. A memory can be triggered by a certain smell, noise from a location, or the taste of exotic foods. Travelling is about exploring and understanding the place, things, and making unforgettable memories. No matter how long or short a trip is, travel can create long-lasting memories.
