| Vacation |
Have you cleared your annual leave? Are you not going to take time off from work? Leaving your place of work even for a couple of days is beneficial for your well-being. Here are some reasons why a vacation is good for you:
· Rest and relax: You don’t have to travel, just do what you like going to a movie, baking or spending time with family and friends. Such activities are able to neutralize the impact of burnout and stress.
· Healthier: According to Karen Matthews of the University of Pittsburgh's Mind-Body Center, leisure, including vacation, contributed to more positive emotions and fewer negative emotions and depression. It is important to engage in leisure activities, as a way to enjoy life more, and to potentially have good health benefits. Taking your annual leave is such a healthy choice.
· Inspire creativity: Getting away from work gives you an opportunity to look at things from a new perspective. You get better ideas and more productive when you resume work. You react to problems with energy and resolve.
· Learn to delegate in your absence: Someone has to do the work for you. It is the best time to hand over your workload and train someone to act on your behalf.
· You deserve it or you work for nothing: You are entitled to it or else you will not be compensated. Take your well-earned rest.
· Time to ponder: It is also a good time to appraise your direction in life. Are you getting what you want in life? How can you do things differently to achieve the desired results?
According to a Chinese saying, the purpose of taking a rest is to allow you to travel a longer distance.
