Do you have any planned vacation time this winter?  Spring?  Or – are you too busy at work?  Millions of Canadians find themselves in this cycle – postponing vacation time / stockpiling unused leave days. 

Reminders are coming from employers across North America – take the vacation time you’re owed! YOU and the company you work for – are all better off when you can take a break from WORK.  Chronic stress and burnout – obviously – have a negative impact on physical and mental health.  What does vacation do?  It allows your mind…..to repair and rest. 

AND, beyond that – relationships with family and friends need quality time.  Vacation creates awesome memories, strengthens bonds and pursues something I talk about a lot here:  BALANCE between work and life responsibilities. 

SO……if you have vacation time coming to you – book it – use it!!!!  You’ll be better off for it!
