A Case For Weekends Away

“What if we recharged ourselves as often as we did our phones?”

 

While a daily recharge, of sorts, is ideal some of us just seem to be too caught up in the rollercoaster of life’s routine and forget to pull up the hand break. 

 

But how about pushing pause once a month or once in two and planning that very necessary weekend away?

 

The experts say that taking short breaks throughout the year may be more beneficial to your well-being than taking one long holiday. That’s because weekends away: 

 

  • Break routine and force you to take a fresh look at real-life rather than staring at a stress-inducing screen
  • Help disconnect you from social media and give you a chance to escape the pressure of performing on a platform 
  • Strengthen your relationships with your loved ones
  • Are easier to plan and costs less than the annual great escape.

 

Not to mention, they make you more interesting. Your mini-jaunts give you great conversation pieces with friends and colleagues, throughout the year.

Also, short getaways are supposed to teach you to pack efficiently - giving you practice for longer excursions.

 

But the truth is: Just in case is the curse of packing. So even when we absolutely know 3 outfits would be more than enough, we pack in another 6, just in case. 

 

Fortunately, there are blogs that expertly unpack the art of packing for a weekend away:

And, of course, it all begins with the right type of luggage:
