How a holiday at the Bunya Mountains can help your mental health

Feeling stressed, anxious, down, worried or directionless lately? If so, you’re not alone, with more and more of us feeling weighed down by the stresses of modern-day life. It’s easy to feel stuck on an endless treadmill of doing more, giving more, being more, getting more and climbing higher. But sometimes it can all get too much – and you need to escape the reality of your life for a while and find somewhere to relax, refresh, revive, restore and reconnect.   

While a holiday cannot replace proper mental health treatment, it can do wonders to restore that feeling of wellbeing, good will and positivity that can make life so much more pleasant. When you’re feeling weary of life, it’s time to get away, just for a short time, and find that peace you’ve been craving.

And the best place to do so? The Bunya Mountains, renowned as one of the most serenely beautiful natural wilderness areas in Queensland. It doesn’t take long to get there, and once you do, the peace of the place means it doesn’t take long to unwind.

Take some time out

If you’re looking to take some time away from the everyday, there’s no better place than the Bunya Mountains, where time seems to tick that little bit slower. The stresses of everyday life tend to fall away as you immerse yourself in the peace and tranquillity of the mountains, and you can spend your time enjoying the wonders of nature.

Find peace and quiet

It’s peaceful at the Bunya Mountains, where the noises of traffic and everyday life are replaced by wind in the trees and birdsong.

Disengage from the hustle and bustle of life

The hustle and bustle of everyday life is miles away at the Bunya Mountains, where you’ll find yourself shifting into a lower gear without even realising it.

Drink in natural beauty

It’s well documented that being in green spaces is good for our mental health. In fact, studies have shown that feelings of happiness and peace increase within minutes of being in nature or seeing green spaces, and our stress levels also fall. Feelings of fatigue, depression and anger will decrease once you’re amongst the beauties of nature, and your attention levels and focus will improve. It’s amazing what great benefits you can draw from nature – something you’ll quickly realise once you arrive at the Bunya Mountains.

Reconnect with yourself

When you begin the drive up the mountain, you almost feel as if you are entering another world – and in a way, you are. The panoramic views and breathtaking scenery allow you the chance to just be – and to reconnect with who you are and who you want to be. We all need sojourns to give us clarity in life, and the serenity of the Bunya Mountains provides the perfect opportunity to get more in tune with yourself as well as with nature.

Reconnect with your family

Everyday life is all too often busy, overly-scheduled and hectic, and time with your family is often sacrificed for endless activity. A Bunya Mountains holiday gives you the perfect opportunity to reconnect with your family in one of Queensland’s most scenic destinations. As an added bonus, wi-fi reception at the mountains is patchy, meaning everyone will have to get off their devices and actually spend time together!

Appreciate what you’ve got

Taking some time out gives you the opportunity to really consider what you’re grateful for in your everyday life. Gratitude is known to deliver wonderful mental health benefits, and just taking a few minutes to express your appreciation and gratitude can restore feelings of wellbeing.

What it all adds up to is that you’ll go home from your Bunya Mountains holiday feeling less stressed, more peaceful, more in tune with your spirit, and a lot more relaxed.
