What’s on your bucket list this year?
As we enter 2018, everyone is out to achieve something different and amazing. However, most of our bucket list ideas have a large element of joy attached to them. Joy is an interesting thing because, it means something unique to every person, which is also what makes it so joyful to experience.
What is it that brings you joy? The logical next question is then, why aren’t you doing more of that this year?
For many of us travel is that thing that brings us joy. In fact, a recent study concluded that travel does make us happier, by allowing us to experience the ideal vision of ourselves.
Another study links skipped vacation time to poor cardiac health, this epidemic of working hard and not playing, is taking a toll on our health, both mental and physical.
