Regardless of who you are and what you do for work, you need a break. Though all working folks have some vacation or time off allowed, there is an epidemic of not using it. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that almost 50% of US workers didn’t use all their vacation days.
Whether you’re a full-time doctor, part-time writer, or a full-time parent, your body and mind need a rest. A wellness vacation is a great way to rest your mind and reset your energetic body. Especially if you’re experiencing mental or physical chronic pain or discomfort, a detox vacation can be the perfect reset.
What is a Wellness Vacation?
A wellness or detox vacation is very different from your average vacation. Especially if you vacation with children, you know a vacation may not always be restful. A wellness vacation is a time away with the intention to rest and reset your body and mind. During these trips, you make a conscious effort of doing things to replenish your health.
In many cases, you’ll go on a wellness vacation alone. You could bring a supportive person who wants to experience a detox vacation, too. Your itinerary usually includes activities that will help bring your mental focus inward and on how you can be mindful of your everyday life. Many people opt to leave technology behind or set restrictions on their access to the world outside of their getaway.
What Should I Do on a Wellness Vacation?
Each detox vacation experience is different, but many include cleansing and calming activities to reset your energetic body. Many people eat specific types of food, like fruits, vegetables, and grains, and spend time in nature. Others opt for body rejuvenating services like massages, facial scrubs, and other spa treatments. Some might look to do specific physical or mental exercises like yoga, meditation, or other ritual healing practices. How you craft your wellness vacation depends on what your body and mind need.
Whatever you plan to do, the goal is to get out of your routine and connect with yourself or others. Many people also like to learn a new skill or practice during a wellness vacation. However you decide to organize your getaway, taking a day or two or more away from your familiar environment will benefit you.
What are the Benefits of a Wellness Vacation?
There are many long and short-term benefits to going on a wellness getaway. Studies show that even a four-day trip can positively impact stress levels. A break in your routine makes you more present and mindful about what is happening around you, lowering stress and anxiety levels. Most anxiety lives in thinking about the past or the future, so living in the “now” can help you feel less anxious and more calm.
Decreased stress hugely benefits your energetic body and its systems, most notably impacting your circulation and digestion. Studies dating back to the early 1990s show that women who took fewer vacations were twice as likely to have a coronary death or heart attack compared to women who took a few holidays throughout the year. Taking a wellness vacation could very well save your life!
Less stress also means better brain health. When your brain is healthy, you can complete tasks better, think more clearly, and pay better attention to your health and needs. Plus, a relaxed mind can help you solve complex problems. Many say they came up with their best ideas in the shower, on a run, or doing other activities that make their minds calmer. A wellness vacation can do just that.
More rest also brings more energy. We often fall into the trap of thinking we need to “power through” work, but in reality, we often need to take a break to have the energy to complete challenging tasks. Rest also benefits your immune system, helping fight illness and keep your energy level up. Whether you parent or work full time, having more energy and better immunity greatly benefits your work.
Where Should I Go for a Wellness Vacation?
There are several great places to go when you need a wellness-focused getaway. Some of the more popular include:
- Retreats Centers: Specific retreat centers hold meditation, yoga, or other healing practice retreats. Getting away to a place that plans everything for you can be a great asset to your personal wellness.
- Campgrounds: Many people find nature incredibly relaxing. In fact, studies show even just 10 minutes of outdoor time has a positive, measurable effect on the brain compared to spending those 10 minutes in busy city streets.
- Cabins: For those who want to commune with nature but don’t find camping outdoors appealing, a detox vacation in a cabin in the woods, on the beach, or by a lake is a great alternative.
- Staycation: If you’re short on time or anxious about being far from home, a staycation at your own house or in a nearby AirBnB or hotel has all the same benefits as going somewhere farther away. One study found people who did a staycation lowered their risk of heart disease even more than those who traveled for their vacation.
