Travel (general aviation) to be Healthier

By Jerry Waxman

 Everywhere you go, every time you turn on the tv or radio, you see and hear reminders that “These are troubled times.” Are these messages of any use?

The number one remedy: Travel

If you look around, you’ll see that stores are still open, and people are still going about their daily routines. And that’s how it should be. Part of the routine must include taking a vacation

We may not be able to do much about how our leaders handle the economy. But we do control how we react. Just because the government has said there is an economic crisis does not mean we all should have a personal crisis.

The best reactions to an economic crisis are either:
1. Find ways to make more money, or
2. Take a vacation, or
3. Both

I can’t show you how to make more money. I can tell you why taking a break is the best thing you can do for yourself and your family:

Think of it this way: A vacation is a short retreat from routine. Whether you have a great job or a dull existence, everybody gets stuck in daily and weekly routines.

A vacation reduces stress. That is the greatest value of a vacation. Stress causes illness; mental illness and physical illness. When you take away stress, you become healthier.

Scientists have found that workers become more productive after a break from routine. Not only laborers, but also managers, executives, and creative professionals notice a surge in productivity after they take a vacation.

The reason is linked to stress and health. The more stress you’re under, the less healthy you feel. The less stressed you are the better you feel. When you feel good, you do good work.

There may, indeed, be harder times ahead, due to the economy and world problems. They should not keep us from taking vacations

The worse thing that we can do is allow these difficulties to cause us undue stress. Stress will only make things worse; worse for our emotional and physical health. And worse still for our financial health.

The best thing we can do is take a break. Get away for a while. Improve our health by taking away anxieties from our lives for a while. Then we can go back to our routines healthier and more productive people.

Everybody on this planet ought to go on vacation together. That would not only remove everyone’s anxieties, it might solve all the world’s problems.

Travel for health, for the health of your family, and for the good of your country and the world.
