7 Signs You Need a Vacation ASAP!

If you’re anything like us, you know that travel isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. Exploring the world, immersing in different cultures, and indulging in extraordinary experiences… your desire to travel goes far beyond the need to have impressive pics for your Instagram feed. Travel is so many things: a form of continuing education, self-care, and it’s good for your soul. 

But sometimes, life gets so busy, so full of boring day-to-day stress, that it’s easy to neglect your desire to get away from it all.  

Have you found yourself experiencing any of the following seven problems? If so, then it’s time to book yourself a vacation asap.

You’re tired all the time.

We’re talking more than just a bit exhausted – more like a bone-deep sense of weariness, the feeling you could sleep for a week. Feeling drained from the moment you get out of bed, all through the day, until it’s time for sleep. If you’re feeling like this, it’s a definite sign you need some time to rest and recuperate.

When people ask, “What have you been up to?” all you talk about is work.

Are you boring yourself in conversations? If all you have going on in your life is work, then it’s time to give yourself something to talk about. Parents, this goes for you too – if all you can talk about is Junior’s football practice, then it’s time to get away from day-to-day life for a while.

The never-ending to-do list.

When your to-do list keeps growing with no end in sight and the stress of never feeling caught up becomes overwhelming, it’s a sign that you need a vacation. Step away from the tasks and deadlines and treat yourself to some well-deserved relaxation and rejuvenation.

You’re snapping at the kids, your partner, the barista at Starbucks…

Hey, we all have grumpy days. It happens. But if you’re constantly on edge, being short-tempered with your loved ones or anyone you come across, then you need to sort yourself out before it becomes an issue – for everyone’s sake.

Each Monday morning is harder than the last.

Yeah, yeah, Mondays are hard. We know this. But if every Monday has you feeling like you’re taking the weight of the world on your shoulders and all you want to do is crawl back into bed and cry into your pillow, then you need a chance to recharge your batteries on a beach somewhere.

Wine o’clock is all you have to look forward to.

A glass of wine with the girls is cute – drinking a bottle of wine to yourself in the evening because you’ve got no other way to relax is not a good look. Better get on top of it and book yourself a trip and give yourself some relaxation time to look forward to, for your own sanity and wellbeing.

Life doesn’t feel interesting anymore.

There’s no hiding from the fact that sometimes life is hard and sometimes it can be a bit boring. But if you’re having trouble finding joy in anything anymore, then it sounds like you need some serious self-care, and travel is the best way to renew your zest for life. Seeing new sights and experiencing new adventures will refresh your soul and bring you back to your joy.

When life gets tough, it’s easy to overlook our own wellbeing. But like any self-help guru will tell you, you can’t pour from an empty cup – and no one wins if you burn yourself out. If you start feeling any of these issues, recognise that you desperately need a vacation. Then allow yourself to put life on hold just for a little bit, and give yourself a chance to relax, refresh, renew, and rediscover your vitality. You’ll feel like a new person and your loved ones will be glad to have you back to your bright shiny self! Everyone wins!
