Decrease stress levels – you can leave your life worries behind and go on a yoga retreat, dance in the nightclubs of Ibiza, walk all over the city of Rome in the summer heat, scuba dive in Fiji or even lounge at an all inclusive resort in Jamaica: regardless of whatever you do what matters is that you are giving your mind and body a break.
