Is the beach really actually therapy?

Fri, 03 Jun 2011 15:08:21 GMT

I am writing this post in response to a personal question sent to me by one of my website visitors. Eric asked if I thought a beach vacation could actually help you "find" yourself or even relieve mild depression. My answer to him was that I think that a vacation in general can help you find yourself again. It is a break from the normal routines and a chance to explore the world outside your everyday scope. I believe for some people that place away that helps them mentally regroup may be the mountains or a lake or a cabin in the woods. For me that place is the beach. I have enjoyed other vacations in my life and am certainly not above taking my children to an amusement park (on the way to the beach of course). However, in the end all that fun is not the same as the complete and total peace I can achieve walking down a beach and listening the sounds of the surf. There is some scientific evidence as well that the salty sea air has health benefits as well. I suffer from seasonal allergies most of the year, but at the beach the salty air helps me breath easier. I think I will talk more about the actual health benefits in another post but wanted to add this aside. I would also like to point out that heading out for a vacation is not a substitute for seeking professional help if you are suffering from serious depression. I think it helps with a normal funk but a chronic issue may need medical intervention. I am not a professional therapist but do have some counseling background and would be remiss if I did not address as well. I have some other thoughts on how to make a vacation a renewing experience and will share those in my next few posts. Thank you Eric for helping me get a little Beach-Therapy today.

Is Travel to Cozumel Safe?

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:30:41 GMT

In light of recent avian flu outbreaks in Mexico, several people have asked me about travel to Mexico's beaches, especially one of my favorites, Cozumel beaches. The official word from the CDC is that travel to Mexico is now as safe as staying home will be, but flu precautions are still recommended everywhere. Ironically, Cozumel is a small island isolated off the coast of Mexico and never reported any flu cases and is likely safer to visit than your local mall. That being said, you should always check the CDC website for travel advisories before traveling out of the country. In the end, if you are uncomfortable with taking a risk, however small, find another beautiful location to enjoy some Beach Therapy. Deerfield Beach Florida or Oskaloosa Island on the Emerald Coast are favorite domestic destinations for me.
