Vacation to me is for stress relief and I believe in boosting productivity with a vacation. Being someone who enjoys photography and writing, I feel my creativity is enhanced through travel.

Mental Refreshment
One of the most significant reasons of my taking a vacation is the mental refreshment it provides me. Stepping away from the daily grind allowed my brain to rest and recover from continuous work stress. In Italy, the stunning vistas of Tuscany, the historical grandeur of Rome, and the serene canals of Venice offered a complete break from my routine. This mental downtime has cleared my mind, making room for new ideas and perspectives. This trip was indeed traveling for inspiration
Enhanced Creativity
Traveling has always exposed me to new experiences, cultures, and ways of thinking. In Italy, I immersed myself in art, history, and the everyday life of the locals. These experiences sparked my creativity in unexpected ways. Whether it was admiring the intricate details of Renaissance art or savoring a perfectly crafted gelato, every moment was an inspiration. Now back at my desk, I find myself bursting with a renewed energy to work and creative solutions.
Reduced Stress and Improved Mood
A change of scenery and a break from work-related stressors significantly reduce stress levels and improves overall mood for everyone. It was no exception for me. Italy’s leisurely pace and the warmth of its people allowed me to unwind completely. This reduction in stress has had a lasting effect, making me feel more relaxed and positive as I dive back into my work.
Increased Productivity
We have always heard that taking a break can lead to increased productivity. It is indeed very true! After a vacation, as an employee, I have returned to my workplace with better focus and motivation. I am experiencing this firsthand. The time away has recharged my batteries, and I am now tackling tasks with a level of efficiency and enthusiasm that had waned before the trip.

These qualities are invaluable in any professional setting, enabling me especially to understand international students’ problems and situations from diverse angles.
Stronger Work-Life Balance
Taking time off reinforces the importance of my work-life balance. It’s a reminder that downtime and relaxation are crucial components of a productive and fulfilling work life. This balance is something I intend to maintain going forward, ensuring that I don’t burn out and continue to produce my best work.
Reconnecting with Passion
Sometimes, stepping away from my work allows me to reconnect with why I started in the first place. The beauty and inspiration I found in Italy reminded me of my passion for storytelling and creativity. This reconnection has reignited my drive and determination to pursue my goals with renewed vigor.
So, yes, a vacation is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity for maintaining mental health, creativity, and productivity. My trip to Italy has reaffirmed this belief.

Feels quite, blessed being a student of BRS and closely related to our beloved Sanjukta Madam 🙂
She use to teach us English and History in our early school days, 5th, 6th and 7th standard. Lovely lady with her catchy pronouciation with quite deep knowledge over the subjects. Moreover I must confess one thing, I use to get too much attracted with her dress code, jewellery etc. 😀 and from those days I use think one day when I will become teacher I will also decorate myself like her. Finally, my destiny shotted me to somewhere else and I became HR.
Loads of hugs to the gorgeous Lady with sound health, hope,she reigns on her own special way, always! she is still my inspiration and will be always. Cheers to our relationship!
