5 Reasons You Need A Vacation
People who fail to use their PTO have a significant loss of quality family time. This of course, makes sense. If all you do is work, it’s hard to enjoy quality time with family and friends. Something we all need. Need more convincing? Here are 5 reasons the experts say you need a vacation:
- Vacations make you happier. Neuroscientists discovered that the structure of the brain can actually be altered by chronic exposure to excessive stress which contributes to depression and anxiety. On the other hand, people who take regular vacations report feeling extremely happy with an overall feeling of well-being compared to those who didn’t vacation.
- Stress is one of the major contributors to heart disease and high blood pressure. Long-term studies in both men and women have shown that vacations can reduce the risk of heart disease and heart attack. (2010 Framingham Heart Study)
- Vacationing with your family and loved ones help create lasting bonds and connections leading to more fulfilling relationships. Studies have found women who take vacations with spouses report feeling more satisfied with their marriages. Creating amazing and long-lasting family memories can’t happen if you’re never with your family or in a position to make those memories. Family vacations allow you to create more memories than any other activity.
- This may sound surprising to some but those employees who vacation are actually more productive than those who do not. Additionally, employees who take vacation have fewer sick days.
- Finally, employees report being more creative and having improved quality of work after taking a vacation.
