Four ways to extend the benefits of a holiday

Psychological research suggests that travelers can make holidays more restorative by disconnecting from work, revisiting emotionally meaningful places, seeking experiences that inspire awe, and avoiding excessive planning. Short breaks can be as refreshing as long trips when people leave daily pressures behind and remain open to unexpected experiences.

心理学研究表明，旅行者可以通过暂时放下工作、重游具有情感意义的地方、寻找令人敬畏的体验以及避免过度规划，让假期更有助于恢复身心。只要人们能摆脱日常压力并愿意接受意外的体验，短途旅行也可以像长途旅行一样令人精神焕发。
