What... Vacations Don't Help Us?


A new study reports that vacations don't really enhance our happiness ratio. OMG- How can this be true? The report states that during the anticipation stage and during the vacation, we are happier, but our happiness ratio after the vacation is no higher than those who did not vacation.

Gulp... is says perhaps we are a smidge happier for a whole two weeks. So, here's the solution. Stay on vacation! Yes, stay on vacation... either physically (oh, do we need to work? haha) or at least in your mind. By that I mean- you need to keep thinking of all the fun you had on the vacation and thinking of good things you did during the vacation. Those acts will keep your happiness level sustained.
