Our Brains Need Vacations

[jmbklj]

Now there's proof - research that shows our brains NEED vacations.

Travel can help us be more creative, get new perspectives. Some people have epiphanies while traveling. Have you ever had one? One epiphany I've had while traveling is that I need to travel more! Also, I believe travel has made me more accepting and appreciative of diversity in the world.

For creativity, the research shows stronger effects for people who live abroad for longer periods of time vs shorter periods of time. Hhhmm.......

I need geographic separation and "electronic disconnection" to ensure my brain is on vacation. The more differences from my daily routines I can experience, th e better the brain vacation.

jmbklj, not certain about epiphanies during most of my vacations, but I do need transition time from work related matters to new people and different experiences to keep from going postal in my daily environment.
