Vacations Do More Than You Think.....

It's that time of year when people start taking vacations. My hubby and I like to take short, frequent trips. It's a nice break from the office....I recently read an article from "Go" magazine about the multiple benefits of a vacation. Even a stay-cation can be rejuvenating. This is a quote from that article:
"Fully utilizing vacation leave drives higher employee performance and productivity, boosts organizational morale, contributes to employee wellness and results in higher employee retention." 
The article also said that if you're mulling over a problem before you go on vacation, you often come back to the office w/ a solution and fresh perspective. That's pretty powerful. Who knew that some time away could do so much for you AND your employer! You know the old adage, 'All work and no play makes for a dull Johnny!" Johnny wouldn't be dull if he took some time to be good to himself. We all need to unwind, refresh and reset. 

So in case you're on the fence about taking some time off, to quote the shoe giant, Nike, just do it!! 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
