Rest During the 2022 War. Planning and Opportunities for Ukrainians to Rest

February 2022 was fateful for all Ukrainians and for the world as a whole. But this month has always been a travel month for trips to warm countries. That is why many families vacationing abroad at that time were condemned and criticized. It was on these notes that many people formed the idea that rest or vacation during war is a crime. But human resources are not limitless. And rest is needed both from physical fatigue and, first of all, from mental fatigue. For most Ukrainians, a vacation this year makes no sense. Ukraine's main resort cities are occupied by orcs. Secondly, most men are now at the front, and there is no opportunity for proper rest. Thirdly, this is a financial problem that has affected many. Many jobs have been destroyed and people have been left without income. But still, first of all, it is necessary to care about the mental health of your children. After all, they are like sponges, absorbing all the information we transmit with our morale.

Even during the war, the tourism industry in Ukraine continues to operate. At present there are many vacation offers both abroad and within Ukraine. Of course, there are no safe places in Ukraine at the moment. But there are cities farther from the fighting. First of all, this is Western Ukraine. Rest there has always been popular at any time. A recommended place for a couple of days of rest is Bakota. It is located in Khmelnytska oblast. It is also popularly known as “Atlantis”. This is a place of very strong energy. Tourists come to admire nature, relax in nature far away What to do in Bakota? First of all, it is active recreation on the banks of the Dniester. Accommodation is possible both in tents and in houses along the shoreline. These are picturesque views for a photo shoot. Go boating and kayaking on the Dniester. Visit the ancient rock monastery. Climb the mysterious mountain. These are not all the entertainments offered by this picturesque region. That is, for a small amount of money you will get a lot of emotions and rest in nature.

Moving a little farther, we suggest visiting Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk , Ternopil or Kamianets-Podilskyi. But for mental rest there is nothing better than immersing yourself in the embrace of nature. For this it does not matter whether you are somewhere in the Carpathians or in the park zone of your city. Right now, many parks, forests and lakes are closed to visitors. So you can rest by going to small petting zoos. They are also currently in a difficult position. And in doing so, you contribute to the development and support of the country's economic situation. If you have more days off, it is better to visit thermal resort

towns such as Truskavets, Morshyn, Myrhorod. Spring mineral water is healing not only for adults, but for children it will be an excellent treatment. In Western Ukraine, a lot of accommodation is currently offered in residential complexes. They are located in areas closer to the mountain ranges. Many have outdoor pools and a variety of entertainment for children. There are many types of free recreation. For example, go for a bike ride or a scooter ride, or take a walk along the river, if it is safe, go to the countryside where there is a small lake or pond and fish. Yes, these are difficult times. But we must not forget that, first of all, we need to take a careful approach to the issue of our mental state and the state of our nearest and dearest. At least for a couple of days, you need to rest during the war in order to restore your physical and mental strength, restore your psychological health. But you also need to keep track of how you do it. For example, unrestrained fun and noise may worry people nearby. Perhaps they have only just escaped from the occupied territories. Also keep an eye on the topics in social networks. Because it would be inappropriate to watch people having fun when the days in the country are extremely difficult. And remember, you have the right to rest. Because you have been working from the first days of the war, making a contribution to the country's economy, and taking care of your physical condition. Of course, taking into account a whole range of nuances, because this is not a full-fledged rest and has many drawbacks. But first of all, do not forget who is nearby and respect people's feelings.

Everything will be Ukraine.
