I just came off of a vacation. I do use my days off wisely. This time, I was fortunate to reunite with some friends from college for a guys trip. We took a cruise to the Bahamas. It was my 2nd cruise and an awesome time.
I feel very refreshed and rejuvenated. I can see why people take vacations so often, although I usually take a week off out of the year.
And this kills me when you randomly take a week off. Unless it's a holiday week or Spring Break, people often ask where you're going and what you're gonna do.
Now while taking a big vacation is exciting and all, it may not be in the budget or what have you then. You may just need to burn some days from work. I have a cousin that does that the final two months of the year, every year.
Point is, you need time away from reality, even if you have the best job. Spend time with loved ones and such. Turn off as much technology and electronics as possible. Focus on yourself again.
One thing running has did for me is traveling for races. I will take weekend excursions for these. When I did Kiawah Island in December, that was awesome, especially around the Holidays. I look forward to the Cooper River Bridge Run, as well as the Myrtle Beach Mini in October.
Therefore, make sure you get your rest and have some sort of fun. We know what they say about all work and no play.
