Traditional summer holiday 'losing favour'

AdelaideNow... Traditional summer holiday 'losing favour':

"However, 44 per cent said feeling revitalised and refreshed after a holiday ended after their first day back at work, although another 44 per cent said the feeling lasted for a week."

Ain't that the truth. One day and it's all gone and that's a sad fact of our lives these days. You do get a longer benefit from a longer break though and a longer break enables you to rediscover and reinvent yourself. It is harder for people to take longer breaks because working conditions are frenetic and really unhealthy. Poepple become so wired they forget how to slow down and slowing down makes you feel stupid because you live in a frenetic world. You neither discover nor see in the fast lane. People can be frightened to take a long break. I think there is a push to encourage short breaks for reasons which benefit work places not poeple. Those who go for a long break always come back looking like a million dollars and with a fresh approach. For some they disengage and follow another path. Inability to slow down ought to be a warning bell.
