Vacation – if celebrated properly – gives you the opportunity to recharge, relax and get back at the office with full focus and new energy. However, the unused paid leave of employees seems to build up throughout the years. Here are 5 ways to not feel guilty about taking a break from your work routine:
Remind yourself that you have the right to a break
Go ahead and use your paid time-off, you have earned every minute of it
- Vacation time is essential for your health and well-being, and every company wants healthy employees
- Don’t be afraid to show your value to your employer
Change of scenery stokes creativity at work
It may be hard to think creatively while being physically near to the problem
- While traveling, your mind gets to wander, causing it to shift into a more expansive kind of cognition
- There is more space for creative thinking, inspiration and ideas
A healthy work-life balance is important
Everyone needs a break from work from time to time, to stay sane.
- You are of no good use to your boss if you break under work-pressure
- Remember that recharging your body and mind is important.
Take advantage of the summer slow down
Most businesses experience a huge summer slowdown during the summer months.
- Book a ticket and enjoy your summer holiday and reconnect with friends, family, and yourself while businesses are closed or at least slow down during this time of year.
