How Traveling Can Change Your Mindset
It is life changing
Traveling has the power to change your life in many ways.
First, when you use those vacation days for travel, you are opening yourself
up to new experiences and extending your comfort zone.
Stepping outside of your comfort zone is something we talk about a lot
because it is a vital tool that makes you grow as an individual. It breaks down
those barriers that are holding you back.
Once you let those barriers down or conquer them by doing something that
scares you or makes you feel uncomfortable, you are letting yourself develop
into a more experienced version of yourself.
It improves your mood
As soon as you step off the plane you're instantly excited, happy, carefree
and lighthearted.
You have left all your worries behind and become present in the moment as
you navigate the novelty of your new environment.
Removing the stress from your life completely changes your mood and in
order to do that, you usually have to do something that removes you from
the stress.
So why not take those vacations? Hop on a plane, and live in the moment.
Change your mood setting to a carefree one that will enlighten your heart
and your happiness.
It recharges you
The average North American works anywhere from 40-60 hours and skips
out on vacations to cash in more money.
Let’s be honest, sometimes the money isn’t worth it. Those vacation days are
mental health days.
Your brain needs a break from the constant work and your body needs a
break from sitting at a desk. Your eyes need a break from staring at a
computer screen.
Go to the beach and enjoy the vitamin D, let the salt water soak your skin
and let the sand cover your body while you recharge. Reset your emotions,
connect with yourself and allow your body to recharge.
It changes you for the better
Change your life with travel who you are as a person for all the reasons
stated above. It’s something that you don’t realize is needed until you do it.
It brings out a different side of who you are as an individual.
Take advantage of the opportunities you have. It’s so easy to travel these
days, and I promise you, it won’t be something you regret.
How travel changed my life
Before
Before you travel your mind is usually occupied with a thousand other
details. Did I buy the right ticket? Have I got everything I need? How do I get
to my accommodation? What will the weather be like? Is all my paperwork
in order?
If you're leaving for an extended length of time you'll want to see your
friends and family, discuss your plans and say goodbye. These goodbye
parties can last days or weeks depending on how long you're going for.
This part of the trip is when you'll start to feel the emotions rising.
Sadness at saying goodbye, elation at quitting your job, apprehension as you
wonder if you've done the right thing, etc. While you'll have a mountain of
logistical things to consider, these feelings will start to occupy more and
more of your waking hours.
These feelings and self-doubts are all completely normal and come with any
major lifestyle change.
The practical side of your brain usually shouts loudest, and it's not until you
arrive at the airport, say your absolute final goodbye and walk through the
security desk that it will all hit home.
That's when self-doubt meets adrenaline. The feeling of butterflies in the
stomach is universal, and I personally love it. When I get that feeling I
know change is coming. I know I'm going to learn something new, meet new
people and face new challenges.
It's also scientifically proven that people are happier when anticipating a
trip. Obviously you'll look back on your travels, years down the line, and
remember the incredible times but, statistically, people are at their happiest
before the actual journey.
he feeling of excitement before the trip is addictive. The anticipation and
expectation deliver a constant drip of endorphins and, like chocolate or
anything that messes with your brain chemistry, it becomes addictive.
Travel is a funny thing. You'll meet tons of amazing people, share fantastic
experiences and form bonds that last a lifetime. You'll tell intimate stories
and share secrets with people you met less than a week ago. When you
connect with people on the road it can be a crazy, intense experience.
Unlike in a work environment where friendships are formed through small
talk and commonalities, travelers are out doing what they love with no
inhibitions or restrictions. You can express yourself as honestly and openly
as you wish
These friendships can be shallow and superficial, but they can also be
profound and deeply moving. I'm personally still in regular contact with
friends I met for just a few weeks almost 15 years ago. Our lives have changed
massively since, but we connected on a certain level and the bond endures.
This isn't to say that you'll love everyone you meet. Far from it. Some
personalities gel and others clash but, unlike a work environment where
you're forced to interact, you have no such obligation when you're traveling.
Walk away, jump on a plane or train. Bond with the people you want to,
walk away from those you don't. Where else do you get such a choice in life?
Loneliness can affect you though. No matter how many new friends you
make, it's natural to feel nostalgic and homesick. Birthdays and festive
periods can be tricky, but in the modern age of instant communication it's
easier than ever to stay in touch with those you're missing.
I believe these moments of feeling alone are beneficial though. It's certainly
one aspect of how travel changed my life. When you're alone, every decision
is your own.
You take ownership for every mistake and success. Your decision making
becomes sharper, your judgement wiser and you become more self-dependent.
You're now making real-life decisions which affect you and only you.
Travel helps break that myth and teaches that the world is a playground of
opportunities. Become a full-time diving instructor or a professional dance
teacher travel change life background .
You will discover opportunities you never even dreamed about. You'll also
become more aware of spotting these opportunities and, due to your
increased self-confidence, you're more likely to embrace them.
After
I returned from that first trip in 2001 with my tail firmly between my legs.
Embarrassed and ashamed, I felt I'd let everyone down. It was only after I got
back and answered a hundred and one questions that I realized that I hadn't
let anyone down. You only answer to yourself.
That's one of the changes to happen after the adventure ends. Once you
settle down again (at home or in a new land) you become more reflective. It's
hard not to. You can't unsee the things you've seen, and all future decisions
are made with this new perspective.
Your life has officially been changed!
Traveling is an essential part of our lives, and we are not afraid to say it
shaped our perception of many things. Traveling lets us grow. In this blog
post, we would like to share with you our thoughts on how traveling can
change your life, and eventually, change your life for the better.
Most of our memories on traveling are positive, but we also experienced
several mishaps, many uncomfortable nights, and long days, it also
happened that things did not work out as we had planned them.
But when looking at all our adventures retrospectively, even at those
unfortunate ones, we are confident to say that they all strengthened us.
Without experiences we gained on the road, we would not be who we are
today.
Even though sometimes we had to learn the hard way, we know that every
single experience was, in the end, beneficial, and traveling changed our
life for the better. That's why we love it so much.
Traveling is not only about pretty photos, Instagram selfies, checking the
attractions off the bucket list, and lazing on the beach.
The journey helps you form your personality, broaden your horizons, and
the experience, both positive and negative teach you to trust yourself and
your decisions.
Pearls of wisdom
Everyone deals with the emotional impact of travel differently. If you're
feeling lonely or miserable, tell someone. Chances are they've experienced
something similar, and just the act of talking about it can be therapeutic.
There are a million and one things that can happen which are totally out of
your control. Don't bother with them. If you can't influence it, don't waste
your energy worrying about it.
Enjoy the moment. Life flies by at an incredible pace, so make the most of
every opportunity. If in doubt, say yes.
I never set out with the intention of changing my life. All I wanted to do was
'see the world', whatever that meant, and then come back and get on with
my regular existence. I had no idea that I would return more patient,
confident, tolerant, ambitious and determined.
Once your perspective on life is changed you adapt. If you're constantly
changing and re-evaluating your perspective with new cultures, new
languages and philosophies then you're in a constant state of change.
And your life will be, too.
