Whether that's a quick 5 minute meditation or spending two weeks in the sunshine with your family, it's so important to work on your mental health and personal relationships. Sometimes an "I need a holiday" quote on social media just doesn't have the same relief as actually heading away. So if you have the budget, let us help you find your ideal holiday.
5 Signs You Need A Holiday
Sometimes you need to learn how to tell you need a holiday. With the stresses of everyday life, it's important to be self aware and understand when you just need to step back and take a break to relax, recover, recouperate and face the world again. Here are 5 key signs that you need a holiday:
1. You're not sleeping well
2. You're stressed at work
3. You're struggling to concentrate
4. You're eating unhealthily
5. You're struggling to get out of bed in the morning
Why We Need A Holiday
Scientific research has shown that there are a number of benefits of taking a holiday, whether that's alone, with a partner, with family or friends. It can be incredibly beneficial to take time out from daily life, step away from some of life's stresses and unwind. Spending time with the ones you love and who can make you laugh can also be ideal for mental and physical health.
Holidays can be the perfect opportunity to spend quality family time together, especially if you live busy lives. From having fun in the pool and playing board games to taking long coastal walks and learning arts and crafts, taking a holiday with your family helps build bonds between parents and children and amongst siblings.
What To Do If You Can't Take A Holiday
It's important to recognise when you're stressed, upset, depressed or just need to take a break, but there might be a number of reasons why you can't take a holiday. Whether you don't have enough annual leave, you have family commitments or you just don't have the money, taking a break, whatever that break looks like is vital to your physical and psychological health.
If things really are bad, you should talk to your GP, a friend or family member to discuss why you're feeling like this. They may be able to provide you with help and advice for your situation. Holidays can help you relax and escape the challenges or stress you are facing, however it's also important to face these challenges head on rather than run away from them. After all, you'll only come back from your holiday facing the same challenges.
In the short term, take some time out, even if for a short period of time, to relax and take a step back. Hobbies can be a great way to take your mind of things and do something you enjoy. Meditation can help you with your breathing and mental health. Apps like Calm can be an incredibly useful tool for this.
