In search of cerebral vacations

Out of the several things man has been known to continue doing ever since his race inherited earth, is taking vacations. Strange it may be, but the fact is man just cannot be put in a monotonous world for ever. There is a yield point, beyond which our brain and our body stops cooperating, gets on a strike and demands a break. This is when a special impulse travels through the nerve cell and stimulates a reaction from us, which usually is a shoulder shrug or a customary fling of an object as a expression of you being irate. This is when the outside world knows they wont be seeing you for the next few days.

Vacation planning is not easy. In fact, research tells that most of one's vacation is spent in planning one than actually enjoying it. The most common factor that causes this is the very nature of human kind, unique, non decisive and greed. Vacation means to travel with company. If you go alone, it's not just worth spending much just on you. You'd rather be at home and swirl in the endless cycle of YouTube recommendations. If you have company, you are placed in a better situation but that comes with a conditions apply tag. The asterisk reads good luck arriving at a decision. Thanks to varied individual tastes, this task is time consuming and tough. You usually start on the origin of the convincing curve, where you are dominating and you put forth you vacations ideas. The rest of the curve is arguments and the end of the curve is when you decide to let go. You either break down halfway through the curve or you travel till the end of it. Very few have succeeded in getting lucky at the origin.

As herculean a task it may sound, there are tips to get around with it and still make things work in your favor. Enter, "Cerebral Vacations". Remember, the prime reason why you are planning a travel is because your brain gave up and you body had no say in it. So, if you can give a break to your brain cells and give them enough rest, they would stop complaining and you would feel much better too. You can also skip the pains of going through the curve of crappiness. Sounds like an idea? Great! But what exactly do you do to take a cerebral vacation? Pretty simple. There are, according to me, 2 ways to do it. One, Do Nothing. Two, Do something that means nothing to you. The first task can sound weird, but trust me, we are all capable of doing that and without our conscious, we have been already doing them often. Example, stare at your wall for five minutes. Or better, focus completely on your food as you eat it. These acts are highly recommended and have shown promising results. The second task requires resources - Computer and Internet. The net is so full of shit that you can search from UFOs to a ukrainian recipe to the fattest man on earth to viral videos and to the current temperature at the base station in Antarctica.

When all these fail, start blogging or read one.
