Why We Need Vacations

1. Even if its been just a few weeks or months, it feels like years!

Whether you just got back home from being on a vacation or that its been several months since you've taken a relaxing break, it feels like its been a forever when you finally go on one.

2. Why we need vacations.

Work, school, life in general is stressful. Taking a well deserved break from a hectic life is healthy, revitalizing and keeps you from losing your mind. (If you haven't already lost it from everyday stress). It is good to get out and go camping or spend the night on a beach somewhere, as long as your having a good time it doesn't matter where it is or how much it cost.

3. Who needs some time off?

Everyone better be raising their hand! Unless you just got back from holiday, you need a vacation. If you say I can't go on vacation I'm too busy, make time to live life and go out and do something to add a little fun to your life. If you keep saying I DON'T HAVE TIME then you need vacation more than the rest of us. It doesn't have to be uber expensive or so amazing that its classified as a once in the lifetime vacation. It just needs to have realization and fun and that is a successful vacation.

4. How do you know when you take off too much time?

People may say you take off too much time from work, but do you actually take off too much. When work life becomes affected by not getting enough hours, then yes, you've had just a few too many breaks. When school work is not being completed and you skip many classes to take a "break". Changes are that break is a lot longer than you thought it was. But when you are groggy, moody, cranky, or down right unbearable then you my friend need a vacation.

5. Does every vacation have to be a huge, memorable family event?

The whole family doesn't have to go, there's nothing wrong with wanting some time to yourself. Just don't get caught trying to escape the home! After you come back from your extended trip to the grocery store or an unplanned meet up with a friend, that's when you plan a scheduled vacation with the whole family. It doesn't have to be expensive and extravagant. They can be simple yet classic. Big trips don't have to cost a fortune, being with your family is memorable enough the trip is just an added bonus.

You know it was a great holiday, when you don't want to leave and come back to reality, if possible do the same vacation again, later on, if it was that once in a lifetime trip, do something else enjoyable and just relax for a bit.

However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
