7 Reasons Why
Everyone Should Take Vacations Even If You’re Busy
Casey Imafidon
Let’s face it; people are more concerned about their jobs
and livelihood now more than ever.
This may be because we are returning from the recession
and are now more aware of keeping those things we have.
However in a bid to selfishly guard our time, we lose
some important things in our lives.
We need to work, yet we need to get off being busy and
experience a vacation, too.
1. You reduce your
stress
Whether you are experiencing a burnout or are embattled
with lots of pressures at work,
going on a vacation will dramatically reduce whatever
stress you are experiencing.
Stress doesn’t help you seeing things clearly. But when
you do take a break you understand
how to balance your work and life and decrease the
effects of stress and any signs of burnout.
2. You do your
health a lot of good
According to a study by the State University of New York
at Oswego,
after surveying 12,000 men it was discovered that men who go on vacation
reduce
their overall risk of early death by 20 percent.
According to an article by the New York Times you increase your rate of dying by 21 percent when
you do not take any annual vacations.
3. You improve
your productivity
According to a survey by Sam’s Club it was discovered
that very few small business owners
take days off. This caused exhaustion, impatience, poor
decision making and illness.
You will be helping your work by becoming more productive
after taking a vacation.
According to experts from the University of Pittsburgh,
people are satisfied with life on vacations and return
more energized and positive.
4. You become more
creative afterwards
Vacation provides you with the time to refresh and
recharge your brain cells.
According to experts we are wired to recharge and not go
the long haul
or stretch without a break. That is why many workers or busy
people get their best ideas
away from work or the office space.
5. You become
happier
A recent study shows that taking time off actually
improves your happiness.
People who took a vacation were happier than those who
did not after 1,500 Dutch adults
were surveyed. This was because of the wild anticipation
and excitement involved
for their vacation. Even after returning from the
vacation the elation was sustained.
According to the study leader, Jeroen
Nawijn, it will be better to spread the vacation experience twice or thrice in
a year rather than taking one big vacation!
6. You are open to
new perspectives
Whether you are going to the beach in a foreign country
or driving through the heat of Las Vegas, time from work gives you an excellent
time to reflect and open yourself to new possibilities.
At such a period away from work you can see the world
from a holistic angle
rather than a lopsided angle.
You could be pushed to read a business book, learn new
cultures and change your perspective
to one that will help you gain better vision as you
return to your every day job.
7. You offer
yourself some family or self time
Quality of life is dependent on how you appreciate
yourself and those who are around you.
It could be with yourself, family or friends; but only
vacations from a busy schedule
can offer you time to appreciate the people around you.
Doing a vacation offers you an opportunity to truly think about those things
that matter, whether it is by reflecting or planning,
vacation gives you a sense of peace and warmth you will
never get in a workplace environment.
It is important to be selfish sometimes.
As the old
saying goes, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
In a way we are social animals
meant to spend and challenge ourselves from regular routine. Getting out of your comfort zone
and experiencing something new is good for your body, mind and those around you.
