The Power of a Break.

We just got back from a weekend away in the sunshine coast hinterland.  

I feel like I have been away for a week.

We had booked the weekend away two months in advance (which according to research, is a great way to optimise happiness from a holiday).

And while some research suggests that the optimum length of a holiday is eight days, there is also research to suggest that treating your weekend like a vacation (regardless of whether or not you actually take one), is a great way to increase happiness.

As you might imagine, we have just booked another weekend away in two months time.
