Sometimes the soul needs some revitalizing. That's when you should take a break off everything else that you're doing and head off somewhere to replenish the diminishing sense of life. It's no surprise that we get caught up in our daily activities, become mechanical and work round the clock 5 days a week, year after year. When we've planned to go somewhere at the end of the fiscal year, something just pops up hindering the journey to relaxation, but you know you need to take that leap. That risk.
Here are a few interesting reasons as to why going out to the countryside is a good way to unwind -

Green Makes You Calm
It's true. The color green helps you calm down which is why many people use it in their bedrooms and you could try it. When you're quite a few miles away from the city, you'll find a lot of greenery to soothe your sight and mind. That's the first step towards getting rid of the stress that has build up over time.
Open Spaces Help You Think
We've all got things to sort out in life. Studies show that when you're out in the open, like a field or on the beach, the serene environment helps you to think. When you're visiting the countryside, you'll have the scenery and the proper atmosphere to settle things.
Meditation
Meditation is one way to kill tension. You see all those images with people sitting out in the open and meditating with their legs crossed. Well, once you've reached somewhere like that, you can probably take a picture of yourself and put it up somewhere for people to see! Even if you're not much into that idea, you might try meditating and experience the wonders yourself.
Food & Soul
They say meditation is food for the soul. After all that meditating and sight-seeing, there are high chances you'll want to taste some good food and fill up. Also, when everything else is amazing, a delicious meal at a fine dining country restaurant will definitely top things off.
We all need a break every once in a while but all that hustle and bustle makes things even more difficult than we expect them to be. Like it was said earlier, you have to take the leap. No one's going to come and ask you kindly to leave all those files for a couple of days. Take a deep breath and make that move you won't regret.
