Reasons Why Travel Is Good for Your Mental Health- By Tripgyani
Intro :
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "travel" – vacation? Getting to know new people? Or how about Instagram-able sunsets? While travelling can be thrilling and exciting, it is much more than sipping margaritas on a sun-kissed beach.
It's no secret that travel is good for your physical health, but a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that exploring a new place can also benefit your mental and emotional health.
Here are five studies that show how travelling makes your mind happy and healthy:
1) It's an excellent stress reliever.
The stress of work and daily demands can distract us from what we find to be actually meaningful and interesting, says Dr. Tamara McClintock Greenberg, a clinical psychologist in San Francisco and author of Psychodynamic Perspectives on Ageing and Illness. Thus, taking a break from the daily grind is essential for your mind to relax, recharge, and rejuvenate.
And what better way to do so than to pack your bags and cross off bucket-list-worthy destinations? Travelling promotes happiness and allows you to divert your attention away from stressful situations. This lowers cortisol levels, making you feel more at ease and content.
2) It assists you in reinventing yourself.
According to author Patrick Roth fuss, "a long stretch of road can teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of silence." Travelling for the first time, especially to a foreign country, can help you re-evaluate and reinvent your life. "If you allow it, travel has the ability to expand your mind in ways you never realized were possible," says Valerie Wilson, solo travel expert and founder of the Trusted Travel Girl.
Furthermore, the valuable lessons learned along the way broaden your perspective, making you more aware and open to new experiences.
3) It makes you happier and more satisfied.
Aside from the obvious fact that you don't have to go to work (and can legitimately eat pizza for breakfast), travelling allows you to disconnect from the daily grind. New events and experiences help to rewire your brain, which improves your mood and self-confidence.
4) It strengthens your mental fortitude.
Going to and living somewhere that makes you feel both excited and intimidated can help you toughen up mentally and emotionally. "When I was younger, I couldn't imagine travelling around the world on my own." However, I now travel by myself the majority of the time. And it's fantastic! "It's never as scary or dangerous in your head," says Verdegaal.
Furthermore, encountering difficulties in an unfamiliar environment with new people forces you to learn and adapt to a life outside of your comfort zone. This allows you to be more adaptable, patient, and emotionally strong. "Travel has taught me patience, how to surrender control to the uncontrollable, and how to problem solve effectively," says Wilson, who describes herself as a "naturally anxious and impatient person."
5) It boosts creativity.
According to Adam Galinsky, a professor at Columbia Business School, visiting a foreign country and immersing yourself in its culture (for example, attending a "snake boat" race in southern India or feasting on crispy tarantulas in Cambodia) increases cognitive flexibility. It also improves "depth and integrativeness of thought," which boosts your creativity. Galinsky is the author of several studies that investigate the relationship between creativity and international travel. It is important to note, however, that travelling only stimulates creativity when you engage with the local culture of that location. Simply visiting a new city or country will not suffice.
