Welcome to Day 243...
So in case you're still on the fence about booking some time away from your everyday life, even for just a day or a weekend trip, here are some compelling reasons direct from Mary's Mighty Muck blog on why vacations matter...
1. Your brain will work better. No really, the Dali Llama can’t be wrong. Changing your perspective and quieting your mind is the path to enlightenment. Enlightenment = a better working brain.
You might have a kick ass new idea. New ideas come when you’re relaxed. Removing the day-to-day urgent interruptions inherent in an office environment gives your mind space to release the ideas that are there.
2. Your relationships will grow. It never fails. Whenever I go on vacation with my family or friends, we learn new things about each other. I always end a vacation with a sense of greater bonding and appreciation for the people I love. If you leave your loved ones at home, the same is true. The process of missing someone increases intimacy.
3. You’ll get emotionally stronger by letting go. It’s true. Even if it scares you to leave your job for a while, just the exercise of doing it will make you that much stronger and more confident when you return.
4. People will appreciate you at work. I know, I know, people act like they’re mad at your leaving. They’ll send you desperate e-mails reminding you just how much you've left undone and what a mess you’ll return to but it’s all a facade.
5. You might learn something. It’s hard to learn really new different stuff when you’re doing the same thing day in and day out. Learning new things expands your mind and your ability to adapt and boy don’t we all need adaptive skills right now?
6. You might meet someone new who impacts your life. Get out of your rut and expand your universe. Who knows who you might meet.
7. You’ll feel happier. No matter how happy you think you feel in your “secure” mode, you can always feel happier. Getting sunshine, moving your body, and experiencing new things is proven to increase endorphins and endorphins lead to feelings of happiness.
