Like working out, there are many benefits to going on vacation, especially if you plan for it financially and it’s essentially free. Yes, I said, FREE!
Before we get to the FREE benefit, let’s examine 3 benefits of taking vacations:
First benefit of vacation: it is emotionally and mentally relaxing
As working adults with responsibilities in childcare, spouse, church, or community activities, by the time you decide to take a vacation, you’re usually at your breaking point.
Most people, especially those who are committed and dedicated to their employer/organization, usually take on more responsibilities than their body and mind can handle.
We have been immune to saying yes and volunteering for tasks and activities that we should probably say “no” to!
But because it’s not politically correct to turn down assignments or requests, we pile too much on our plates and end up mentally and emotionally overwhelmed and fatigued as a result. And, when we decide to go on vacation, after our bosses have forced us to take time off, we almost need to take medical leave.
Taking a break from the workplace and going on vacation can help you calm down and relax. Hopefully, you won’t be taking work with you while you’re on vacation.
The second benefit of going on vacation is that it can create a closer bond and relationship between you and your spouse and/or children.
Again, as working adults carrying a full load at work, family is often put on the backburner. If the boss has a special project or last-minute demands coming their way…guess who has to be understanding and forgiving…yes, the family.
Although everyone can agree they get it, too many rain checks turn into raging storms. Spouses find themselves arguing and snapping over little things, children become unruly and unrecognizable, and the only person or thing that can welcome you…is pets. And even pets can turn against you.
Vacations, yes, vacations can help build or rebuild family dynamics. However, it will not be as easy to navigate as you would like. You may have to do a little more fawning for the kids and your spouse. Go ahead… sing those traveling car songs. Embrace it and listen to the whole long, extended version of a story you’ve probably heard more times than you care.
The third and final benefit of vacations is exciting when they are FREE! Well, I can’t say it’s 100% free, because you’ll have to pay some fees out of pocket, but compared to paying for the entire stay… well, it’s basically a free vacation.
