Even with the availability of cheap airplane tickets and cheap vacation packages, many workers have a hard time finding the time to take a vacation. And given todays technology, that can keep workers tethered to their offices even while on vacation, some people return to work feeling like they never left.
Experts recommend vacations as a way to help people gain insights, appreciate the moment, and return to work with a renewed sense of excitement. Breaking away from a familiar routine and environment can help one gain prospective on everyday life.
When in the middle of a problem, it is sometimes difficult to have the perspective to think about it clearly. Many people experience epiphanies (the sudden realization of the meaning of something allowing the person to see the whole picture) when they travel because they are able to view their life back home from a more detached outsiders view.
To achieve such a perspective it takes more than just taking time off from work. A person needs to actually get away from where he or she lives every day. Being unplugged from the office is essential to gaining perspective.
Experts have found that creative thinking improves when people are able to leave the country they live in and immerse themselves in a different culture. Creativity often is stimulated when a person is faced with an unfamiliar place where there is a whole other set of social norms and customs.
