Sometimes you have to stop what you are doing and think to yourself – Is this what life is all about?
Statistics are showing that many Americans are choosing NOT to take vacations of at least a week or more a year. Many people opt for the long weekends and consider that enough indulgence. When in actuality a long weekend doesn’t help you recover from the daily stresses of living and working.
Taking time off from work and/or life is like medicine. According to National Geographic an annual vacation can cut the risk of a heart attack in men by 30% and in women by 50%. You don’t have to go far to get peace of mind. Take yourself away from your everyday habitat and enjoy some rest & relaxation outside of your common walls. For some people a little adventure is just as good as R&R.
If you subtract yourself from work for at least one week (many researchers say at least 2 weeks) you will come back refreshed and ready to take on the world. You will be rejuvenated and full of energy. If you suffer from depression or anxiety a vacation will give you the harmony you need to feel at ease with yourself.
Your brain is working full time and anything that is working full time (sometimes overtime) will eventually crash!! Why do that do yourself? In order to accomplish more, sometimes you need to step away from your business for a few days and relax your mind. Your business will thank you and continue to flourish.
It has been proven that people that don’t take vacations are often times edgy, impatient, make bad decisions and can become sick. Treat your mind and body the way it should be treated and start planning your next vacation. Your future self will thank you for it.
I know that most of you are thinking well who is going to run my business if I take a vacation? Well, that is all a part of planning your vacation. We aren’t telling you to just stop what you are doing and hop on a plane or a boat. We are suggesting that you take the time to plan your vacation the right way, so that you can take advantage of the time you deserve!!
