Summer worridays
1 in 3 people in the UK worry about the cost of their summer holiday, according to a new survey by Bach Original Flower Remedies. Women were found to be 8% more likely to worry about holiday finances than men, with 46% fretting about the Pounds, Euros and Dollars instead of enjoying their break.
The British tradition of taking an annual holiday to switch off from the stresses of day to day life, seems to be the latest casualty of the ‘Worry Britain’ with 29% of people forgoing a holiday altogether. Stress management specialist and Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner Alex Bacon explains why taking a break from our daily worries is essential to maintain good emotional health:
‘If we don’t give ourselves adequate downtime in the form of holidays and breaks from our day to day routines we become absorbed by our daily worries which suck up time and drain your mental energy. We become less likely to be able to deal with life’s inevitable challenges, build strong relationships, and lead productive, fulfilling lives.’
