Summer is upon us and whether we plan on travelling or staying close to home, it signals a time to schedule a break from our work. I have just recently returned from a vacation to Vancouver Island to visit my family with my husband and children. We spent most of our time in Nanaimo but enjoyed day trips to Victoria and other parts of the island. Upon our arrival in Nanaimo, it was very apparent that the pace of life seemed to slow right down and we were able to take our time in experiencing the beauty of our surroundings.
During our trip, we went to my brother’s cabin and as I stood on the deck overlooking the lake, I could feel myself starting to relax and embrace this time away. Here at the cabin, there’s very limited connectivity which provided a much needed break from all our electronic devices and allowed us to reconnect as a family. I felt that this holiday also helped me feel more balanced in my life and recharged my energy levels.
It is important for each of us to schedule time off for it allows our minds and bodies to rest and we can be more effective throughout the rest of the year. If you haven’t planned a vacation and have unused vacation days, I encourage you to use them. Take a break, reset, and return to work rejuvenated.
