Top 5 Spa Holidays for Stressed-Out Professionals in 2020
Stress in the workplace is on the rise, and our dependence on technology has meant that we are constantly 'on' and a slave to our devices - and our emails. Stressed-out professionals everywhere can relate to an overflowing inbox and an ever-growing list of tasks to action. Finding the 'off' button can feel like a constant battle and, of course, the days are long gone when your working day ended when you left the office. We so rarely get proper down-time and this is incredibly bad for our stress levels and sanity!
We need to find a balance - it's been proven that high stress levels impact on many areas of our life from causing sleep issues to increasing the risk of conditions such as heart disease and depression. It has a knock-on effect in both your professional and personal life, so it makes sense to address it. Why not consider a Wellbeing Escape in 2020 where you can receive expert guidance on how to manage stress and overload as well as learn the necessary 'tools' to put in place and keep you on the right path once you are back in your normal routine. Our top picks are below:
