Studies have shown that taking time away from a job and everyday stress can have mental and physical health benefits .
• Time away from the stresses of work and daily life can improve your health , relationships , job performance and overall perspective on life . You can feel refreshed and more prepared to handle whatever comes your way when you return . Vacations or staycations can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety .
• It can enhance your creativity by providing opportunities to disconnect from your daily routine and explore new places , people , or experiences . When you give your brain a break and allow it to relax , you open space for new and creative ideas to emerge .
• Improve the quality of your sleep . Relaxing allows your body and mind to decompress , leading to a better sleep .
• Vacations and staycations can provide an opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones , strengthen relationships and create lasting memories . It also allows time to re-connect with friends and family members in ways not possible during busy work and school schedules . Vacations don ’ t have to be exotic or expensive . Options like camping , hiking or even a day trip can minimize costs while having the same recharging effect . The overall goal is to just take time off , whether it is a few hours , a weekend or longer . Your mind and body will thank you .
If you find yourself overcome with feelings of overwhelming anxiety , depression or having difficulty dealing with circumstances in your life , you are not alone .
