It’s no secret that human beings love surprises, but did you know that we need surprises too? Dr. Jill Suttie explains why in her Greater Good magazine (a science-based publication focused on a meaningful life). “Surprise, whether good or bad, is critical for bringing vitality to our lives,” She believes, adding that surprises can “make your whole day.” When we’re surprised, our brain releases dopamine as we go through four stages:
- We freeze in our tracks because surprises tend to be unexpected.
- It takes a minute to put the puzzle pieces together.
- Our perspective is shifted as we make the connection.
- The element of surprise is fully appreciated when we share them with others!
What surprises do we love most?
Researchers at radio station WROR asked audiences to name unexpected surprises that gave them the most pleasure, and you’re going to agree with their responses:
- Finding money in a pocket or couch cushions
- Being told that you are getting a tax refund
- An unexpected rebate or discount pops up
- You get random compliments from strangers
- Someone invites you to cut into a store checkout line
- A bonus or raise comes as a surprise at work
- You’re running late, and every light turns green
- You’re delighted by unexpected displays of affection from a loved one
- Someone “gets” your point without long explanations!
Has a vacation ever surprised you?
You’ll say yes if you’ve stayed on a Caribbean tropical island where life slows down, relaxation rules the day, and you’re treated like a celeb. If that island happens to be located in Belize, the first surprise you’ll encounter is that there are no language barriers since this is a nation of English speakers. One of the most enchanting islands off the Belize shoreline is Manta Island Resort.
Catering to singles, couples, and families, you’ll find surprisingly diverse programs, amenities, and tours available to every guest, and this property’s All Inclusive Package can only be described as bountiful. You’ll find topography that’s not like a typical island since the resort is located on the Glover’s Reef Atoll, a coral reef that has been around for ages and boasts romantic lore inspired by Mayans and pirates who resided on the reef.
Expect endless, non-stop surprises throughout your escape
Believe it or not, despite the juxtaposition of tropical vibes and luxurious environs, a Manta holiday is affordable for tourists who say that they had no idea that luxury and affordability were compatible. But seeing is believing, and these offers will delight you.
If you can name another Caribbean island that offers the generous deal designed for only the first 50 guests claiming this price reduction, we’d love to hear about it, but why spend time searching for paradise when you’ve already found it? Browse this page. If you’re not curious and fascinated, nobody will be as surprised as much as we are!
