Wherever you go, every time you turn on the radio or tv, you get reminders that "These are troubled times." Are these messages good for us?
The number one remedy: Take a vacation.
If you look around, you'll see that stores are still open, and people are still going about their daily routines. And that is as it should be. Part of the routine must include travel
We may not be able to do anything about how our leaders handle the economy. But we do control how we react. Just because some leaders have said there is an economic crisis does not mean that we should have a personal crisis.
The best reactions to an economic crisis are either:
1. Find ways to make more money, or

I can't show you how to increase your income. I can tell you why having a holiday is the best thing you can do for yourself and your family:
Think of it this way: A vacation is a temporary break from routine. Whether you have a great job or a dull existence, we all get stuck in daily and weekly routines.
A vacation removes stress. That is the greatest value of a vacation. Stress is the leading cause of all illnesses; mental illness as well as physical illness. When you remove stress, you become healthier.
Scientific studies have shown that workers are more productive after a break from routine. Not only laborers, but also managers, executives, and creative professionals enjoy a surge in productivity after they take a vacation.
The reason can be seen as a relationship between stress and health. The more stress you're under, the less healthy you feel. The less stressed you are the better you feel. The better you feel, the better your work.
There may, indeed, be harder times ahead, due to the economy and world problems. They should not keep us from taking vacations
The worse thing that we can do is allow these problems to cause us undue stress. Stress will only make things worse; worse for our emotional and physical health. And worse still for our financial health.
The best thing we can do is take a vacation. Get away for a while. Improve our health by taking away anxieties from our lives for a while. Then we can go back to our routines healthier and more productive people.
Everybody around the world ought to take a vacation together. That would not only calm everybody down, it would solve the world's problems.
Travel for health, for the health of your family, and for the good of your country and the world.
