We all need holidays, especially once we are self employed or stuck in a job that takes more than it gives. Sure, all this stuff may put the food on the table and allow you to spend some time under in a warm room, but after all, we need time to please our-self.

1. Work burns out

We work too much, we end up burning out. No matter what we do, once things are the same every day and the stress is almost unbearable, we have to stop. Actually we should all stop far earlier, but most people don’t.

2. Time off refreshes

There is more to life than work, and if you do not know how you can spend your time off, you are doing something wrong. There are so many things one can do in life, and most of those things are a lot of fun. Don’t think too much, and go for the experience, at least you will be able to tell a more interesting story at the water stop in the office next time.

3. Only time allows you to reflect your life

When we are caught up in life, we don’t have time to adjust it. Sometimes it’s great to simply react and see what is coming, but after all there should be something we strive for. In case you are in a struggle with your work and have to make ends meet it’s almost impossible.

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need.

So, take time off and start working on your creative output. Start being someone who actually cares enough about himself to do what he wants to do, instead of taking the easy road out.
