The meaning of travel is meaningful.

There are a few words written in front:

Travel is actually to escape the despair of daily life.

The life we repeat every day, year after year, is very easy to despair;

To avoid despair, it is necessary for us to travel once or twice a year.

See how strangers live and see different environments.

Hearing another language,

Eating a different kind of food,

Sight, hearing and taste can get fresh experiences, and this kind of sensory stimulation can arouse our enthusiasm for life again.

-Danish philosopher Kierkegaard

We are constantly stressed that we can only grow if we leave our comfort zone.

However, if you do something crazy directly from your comfort zone, it must be extremely uncomfortable and even frightening. Many people are trapped in the comfort zone because of fear.

The significance of traveling is that you can go out a little bit, explore and take risks within a controllable range, and improve your courage and self-confidence.

For example, when traveling on an island, there are usually snorkeling projects. From initial fear to gradual adaptation, there are no obstacles at all. People jump into the sea and sink into the sea with lead. This is not how brave I am, but through repeated experiments, I have a sense of control and trust in my body and equipment, and the comfortable circle of snorkeling has expanded.

Many times in life, adventure is terrible, because once the risk occurs, we sometimes have to bear very difficult and heavy consequences.

The advantage of traveling is that you know you will come back to life. The risks taken in the journey are only a fragment of the journey, and they are controllable. But this process can exercise our adventure nerve, make it stronger and stronger, and help us better face all kinds of adventures in life.

On a long-distance trip to go on road trip, I found that the sound of the car was wrong. After getting off the bus, I found a tire punctured and deflated. By this time, it was a little late. We went to several places and couldn't repair them, saying that we needed new ones, but none of them sold tires of this specification. There was a voice in my heart at that time, but it seems a bit awkward today.

After I realized my idea, I immediately put it down to see what would happen next.

We made a few detours and arrived at the local off-duty time. We have given up the decision to go back to the hotel for repair tomorrow.

When I met a gas station on my way back, I said I would turn in and try my luck. After reading it, the workers there said they couldn't repair it, but they could change it! 500 yuan got a new tire. At that time, as long as there was a replacement, we didn't care about the price and asked for a replacement immediately.

As a result, the man went in for a long time and came out and said that he didn't find this type of tire in stock ... but! Found a second-hand tire. 150? Yuan, do you mind asking us? Of course we don't mind, and we'd love to! So the man quickly helped to change it. It turns out that life makes us run around just to let us do what 500 yuan failed to do with 150 yuan! Sure enough, everything is the best arrangement.

When traveling, you will encounter all kinds of accidents, drive the wrong way, walk all the way to the restaurant and find people on vacation, and so on.

The significance of travel lies in its exclusive pursuit of perfection. The more you pursue perfection, the more painful it is. The more you surrender to all kinds of travel, the more surprises life gives us.

Michel Montaigne, a French humanist writer, suffered from kidney calculi, which was a very serious disease at that time and there was no good treatment. At that time, it was said that soaking in hot springs could cure kidney calculi, and Swiss and Italian hot springs were said to have a particularly good effect. So Montaigne went out to travel to Switzerland and Italy at the age of 47, and the whole trip lasted 17 months.

When he was young, he was full of curiosity about the world. He wants to see those buildings, fountains, ancient battlefields and places where Caesar once stopped. He wanted to see how others lived, and he also learned how ancient heroes lived by traveling, so that he could jump out of his narrow personal experience and make his mind smarter.

Montaigne doesn't get up early and travel in the dark. He always takes his time to have breakfast before going on the road, eat local specialties and try to deal with strangers. He visited the Pope and a very famous prostitute in Venice.

He said that travel should be a continuation of the fun of ordinary daily life, and travel should be like rolling in heaven. There is no need to make a particularly detailed plan. As long as the route is not repeated, you can see new things every day.

Of course, you have other options to achieve a balanced life.

Nigel Marsh is a writer.

He used to be the head of a well-known advertising company in Australia. However, despite his successful career, he felt stressed and overweight, unable to handle his marriage and relationship with his four children.

In his words, it is "eating too much, drinking too much, working too hard and neglecting family".

Until one day, he decided to make a change, quit his job and concentrate on spending a year with his wife and children. He wrote a book about his experience, fat, forty, and fired.

Marsh gave a TED talk, which was very popular. The theme is "How to achieve a balance between work and life". He shared his experience on this issue in his speech.

Of course, his advice is not to resign. Not working is not the way, especially when there is no money.

What we should do is, first of all, to recognize our real situation. In his view, some career choices are totally incompatible with the lifestyle of being close to family every day. Whether it is flexible working hours, wearing casual clothes to work on Friday, or parental leave, it can't solve this problem. Marsh said: "The reality of society is that thousands of people are suffering in silent despair. They are engaged in occupations that they hate day and night, just to buy useless goods to gain the envy of others. "

Secondly, facing the reality, the government and companies will not help you solve this problem. Marsh said that in essence, all companies want to extract as much value as possible from their employees, while avoiding responsibility as much as possible. This is the company's gene. For an individual, if you think the balance between work and life is very important, then you should take the responsibility of controlling and planning your own life. "You don't plan your life, others will plan for you. We must be responsible for ourselves and set and strengthen various boundaries in life. "

Third, consider what kind of time unit you are trying to measure the balance. If you take a day as a unit, most people can't take care of their life and work, and take care of their families and offices at the same time. Therefore, it is necessary to lengthen the time unit and achieve balance. However, it can't be extended to a lifetime, leaving all family time until retirement.

Fourth, trivial matters are not trivial, and humble efforts are valued. To achieve the balance between work and life, it is not to subvert your life greatly, but to make some small efforts in appropriate places to improve your interpersonal relationship and quality of life. For example, you don't have to accompany your child to Disneyland all day, but walk and swing with him in the park near his home.

Zhang Defen wrote in "Meeting the Unknown Self" that everyone's true self is love, happiness and peace.

Without pressure, people's true self will be revealed. We all have these things, but they are wrapped in layers of fast-paced life, stress and identity.

In the process of traveling, you peel off layers of shells, take off your identity, role and mask, and be yourself in a place where no one knows you. At this time, joy and peace will naturally flow out.

During the journey, I may be shocked by a tree, and I will be healed by the spirituality I feel when I touch the trunk.

Sometimes it may be stopped by historical memory.

The significance of travel is to change a brand-new environment, and, driven by natural curiosity, to have more contact with the world, nature and history, as well as with oneself. ?

The so-called animism, when we are fully connected inside and outside, every cell of the body will open, accept and welcome the spirituality and energy brought by the journey and life.
