Stress Less, Weekend Away More

Author: Harry | Date: 24 June 2010 17h20

We’ve all heard how more exercise and less stress can make us healthier people. Although, maintaining that lifestyle takes discipline and in most cases an extra few hours to the day. Unless you live on a warm tropical island, where money doesn’t exist and catching the perfect tan is the hardest part of your day, stress is a reality.

Stressful jobs, traffic jams, never ending chores around the house, children, bills, car problems, politics, loans, dieting, family. These are probably the reasons for your stress levels being so high. We often come into contact with someone who recommends a new diet or a newly discovered form of breathing that calms us down in moments of uncontrollable stress. All these short lived methods of “cure” don’t last long and are quickly forgotten about. However, if stress is not dealt with, it will affect your health in the long run.

Getting out of the city

Weekends are a time for relaxation, late mornings and “me time.” This is when stress should be forgotten about, the sounds of taxis and police sirens should be non existent and problems at work filed and not thought of until Monday morning. Harry’s Getaway provides just this. The opportunity for family, couples and friends to enjoy a weekend away from the stress of chaotic city life. Harebeespoort Dam is an escape from the humming of Johannesburg. A weekend away to this tranquil escape will ensure that stress leaves it’s luggage in Joburg. To book a weekend away and get rid of some of that stress you are carrying around, call Harry’s Getaway on 072 452 5648 or 082 575 4751 or email info@harrysgetaway.co.za

A weekend away with Harry’s Getaway is not only refreshing but it gives you the opportunity to relax in the comfort of self catering accommodation. Waking up in the morning to the sounds of birds chirping and views so beautiful, they hypnotize, is the freshest way to spend a weekend. A weekend away allows you a couple days to forget about the worries and stresses that you are faced with on a daily basis.

What to do at Hartebeespoort Dam

Hartebeespoort Dam is surrounded with activities and spots of interest. After a relaxing breakfast outside on the sun drenched patio, you can enjoy the thrills of a snake park. If slithering reptiles stress you out even more than around the clock responsibilities then there are many other options for you. Shop till you drop at the arts and crafts market, visit your ancestors at The Cradle of Humankind or simply close your eyes and drift away as you receive body treatments from Bella Mour Spa.

For those who are feeling a little more energetic there are a variety of adventurous things to do on your weekend away. Rafting and canoeing, game drives, abseiling, caving, horse riding, quad bike riding and canopy walks. These are just a few of the courageous and daring activities to fill up your weekend away.

Getting out of the city and entering a world of relaxation is bound to help you cope with that stress. Even though a weekend away is a short break away from reality, it will give you a few moments to feel like a real human being again. Give yourself that weekend away that you deserve.
