Is Your Life About Work or About Living?
Most people don’t take time to relax. As a society we suffer with feeling tired or not being able to sleep, missing meals and working through lunchtime, and missing out on important social and family events.
The annual Vacation Deprivation survey in 2004, reported that workers lose three days of vacation time by not using it. This number is up from two days in 2003. The survey also said that when workers are on vacation, they think about work and most check their e-mail or office voice mail while away.
Not taking the time to relax can cause medical diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, and many stress-related illnesses. Studies also show those who don’t take vacations, may have also shorter your life span.
Do you really want your life to be about work? Do you want to miss out on your life because you working or thinking about work?
Plan a vacation where you can unwind, have quiet and eat healthy and give up caffeine and other habits. Listen to music, watch the waves, and quiet your body and your mind! Life is short and maybe over in another second… enjoy it NOW!
