¿Alguna vez has sentido que vuelves de las vacaciones más agotado de lo que te fuiste? No eres el único.

That Really Recharges<o:p></o:p>

Have you ever felt like you come back from vacation more exhausted
than when you left? You're not alone. At VIAHR, we hear it constantly: people
who, in their eagerness to make the most of every minute, end up turning their
days off into a marathon of activities that send them back to their work
routine, just as tired or even more so than before.<o:p></o:p>

¿Por
qué a veces no descansamos ni en vacaciones?<o:p></o:p>

Why do we sometimes not rest, even on vacation? <o:p></o:p>

The culture of hyperproductivity has even contaminated
our days off. We want to "get the most out" of every destination, not
miss a thing, do more, see more, share more. However, we forget that the
purpose of a break is just the opposite: to slow down, reconnect, rest.<o:p></o:p>

Added to this is the fact that we often travel accompanied by our own
work habits: we check emails, respond to messages, and keep thinking about
things we need to do. Even if we change scenery, we don't change our mindset.<o:p></o:p>

mejor recuerdo es tu bienestar físico y mental, no el álbum repleto. Es
imprescindible algún tipo de desconexión digital, pues la sobreexposición a
pantallas y la conexión constante al trabajo a través de dispositivos impacta
negativamente en el descanso. Siempre recomendamos usar dispositivos separados
para lo personal y lo laboral, desactivar notificaciones y planificar
actividades sin pantallas.<o:p></o:p>

-Anticipate and plan: Planning your vacation itself can be a source of
happiness and well-being. Anticipating new experiences and planning ahead can
reduce uncertainty and increase energy levels before the trip. According to a
study by the Institute for Applied Positive Research, 97% of those interviewed
said that planning a trip makes them happy and 74% said that planning allowed
them to relax amidst the uncertainty surrounding their trip.<o:p></o:p>

Listen to your body. If you need to sleep, sleep. If you need to walk,
do it. If you need silence, choose destinations that respect it. And always
remember your purpose. Why do you take vacations? To rest. Keep that as a
priority, not an option. Because it's not the destination... it's how you
experience the trip.<o:p></o:p>
