Five Signs That You May Need A Vacation
Everyone needs a vacation every now and then but most people tend ignore this need , perhaps because they are busy at work or think they cannot afford it. However, there may come a point when the accumulated stress will become too much and taking a vacation will become a serious necessity as the only cure for stress, frustration and tiredness.
Sometimes a one or two day break will do the trick but a lot of the time, particularly for workaholics, an extended mental and physical break is necessary. So how exactly can you tell when you need to take a vacation? Here are the signs to watch out for:
Instructions
-
1
Waking up becomes a chore
When getting up in the morning starts to feel like an immense chore, it might be because your body is stressed out and it's time for you to take a break. -
2
Inability to focus
When you find yourself struggling to focus on tasks at work, without any obvious cause such as dissatisfaction with the job itself or trouble at home, this might be an important sign that you need a break. -
3
Mental fatigue
A lot of things can contribute to the development of mental fatigue: it could be stress from family, relationships, finance or even academics. When it becomes a struggle living in your head and facing issues you can’t solve or control, a vacation might be just what the doctor ordered. -
4
Frustration
Frustration can be a slow poison, and it is important for you to be able to tell when you are feeling frustrated, and why. Often, people develop pent up frustration from numerous little things that are not so difficult to deal with individually.
In such cases, one of the best solutions is simply to get away from it all by taking a vacation, so that when you come back feeling refreshed you'll be in much better shape to take care of business. -
5
Frequent bodily pains
Feeling frequent bodily pains with no idea of where it might be coming from? Perhaps you have tried taking some medication, sleeping earlier or longer, changing your eating habits, or even exercise, but no matter what you do you still get up each morning feeling like sack of potatoes.
It is very possible that this might be as a result of stress, and you should talk with your doctor about it to be sure. A vacation might be all you need to get back to normal. -

If you notice a few or all of these signs, your body could be crying out for a long overdue vacation and you owe it to yourself to take a break. If these symptoms persist, however, you might need to consider some therapy.
