Why a Holiday in August is Good for Your Mental Health

Taking a holiday in August is a powerful way to prevent burnout, especially as stress builds mid-year and the end-of-year break still feels far off. Whether escaping to Europe’s summer or enjoying a warm northern WA break—or a cozy retreat down south—stepping away from routine can restore energy, mood, and focus. With fewer crowds and lower costs than December, it’s a smart choice for both mental health and your wallet.
