Does this statement include the way we live our religion/beliefs? I believe a more leisurely pace of life can be obtained through this factor. Great post anyway. “the health and happiness formula is a more leisurely pace of life.” Does this statement include the way we live our religion/beliefs?

We will try to track down that post on stress relief and travel. I really like your observation that travel lifts us out of our "small sense of self." Slowing down and widening our perspective seem to be mutually reinforcing and create a virtuous circle. Leisurely travel may be the best way to enter that state of mind. I'm personally a big fan of the Perseid meteor shower. Conditions permitting, I take it in with friends and family every August gently floating on a pontoon boat on a pristine lake in Northern Wisconsin. Thanks, Melanie.

I recently read a great post - can't remember where-- about travel as one of the best forms of stress relief; researchers studied people who'd been through traumatic experiences and found that travel was the best way to "reboot" the brain to a normal stress response. In my blog, www.health-conscious-travel.com (thanks for putting me on your blogroll) I have been focusing on making travel a priority for the new year with a new year's resolution list of places I hope to go. I've been amazed at the comments from people who also have a dream trip they've focused on as a happiness goal for 2010. Hey Mike, am loving your happiness investigation.
