Why Vacations Are Mandatory?

Whenever we think of a vacation, the first thing that comes to our mind is that we need to have a luxury of both time and money. Vacations are thus kept at last in our plan of things because we never seem to have enough of these two things in life. Let ‘s look at the pros of this since we are already sorted with the cons.

Before delving deep into it, take a deep breath and ask yourself a question; “ Why did the idea of taking a vacation come into your mind?” Is it because everyone else is taking one? Do you want to travel to a new place? Does it help you with the “Likes” on your Facebook or Instagram? Or is your family forcing you to take one? Your reason for taking a vacation might not be one of these but most of us have these in mind when planning a vacation. The drive is mostly Extrinsic (i.e; motivation from outside).

WHY MANDATORY?

There is never a right time…

If we keep waiting, we may have to do it forever. Time is running out of our lives and we might not get any time till we are 40-50, but will you be able to do all that you have planned for at age 50? If not now then when?

Work-Life Balance…

What is it that you work for so hard? Life passes by in a blink of an eye. There is a lot of stress at work and even at home. We are always connected and technology makes it, even more, harder to disconnect. We never seem to take a pause, especially in big and populated cities. A nervous breakdown is a common thing in today’s world but not all of us have the luxury to sell our Ferraris and become a monk, hence a vacation could do the trick.

Plan ahead to refocus ….

We often become a cog in the wheel while running errands to get our things done. We loose purpose and meaning in work. Humans work better when there is something that motivates us. While we are away from our daily grind we can Refocus on our goals and make a plan for the future. Our work efficiency increases manifolds and we get more things done.

Bonding with family and friends….

Most of us work for our families or a friend who is a family. None of us works only for our selfish reasons but we often forget to spend quality time with them. Speaking your heart out or listening to what is that is bothering a near and dear one is as important as working hard and paying for them.

Health or wealth….

Goose came first or eggs? The equation is same with health and wealth. Not only will taking that vacation lead to mental well being from stress but also help you with all the related health problems like blood pressure, heart diseases, obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, gastrointestinal problems, premature ageing, and death.

So, all we are trying to put ‘Streageing

is that do not delay your vacations in the run for wealth, as you could have to repay much more.
