Most of our getaways are succumbed by our anxiety to see more, do more, get more &#8211; much like most of our working lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontplugin_fontid_6085_JustusRoman\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">When we say, &#8220;i need a holiday,&#8221; what we are really saying is, &#8221; I need a break,&#8221; \u201cI need some rest to recharge.&#8221; Yet most of our vacation planning gets filled with activities. Even in our supposed break-times, we are busy! Ironies of ironies, social research indicate that people are just as stressed, if not more stressed BEFORE And AFTER a holiday. Think about the pile of work you try and clear before you leave, and the looming burden awaiting for your return to at the frontline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontplugin_fontid_6085_JustusRoman\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">When we are planning for our holiday, I think it it&#8217;s important to ask ourselves &#8220;what we really need?&#8221; Most of time, i reckon it&#8217;s rest. Meaning, a getaway from activity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontplugin_fontid_6085_JustusRoman\" style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">Non-activity is one of the biggest hurdle in modern living.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-psychological","category-reflections","category-social","post-preview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darylchow.com\/fullcircles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
