Everyone dreams of taking a vacation. The idea of travel can get anyone excited when thinking of the sights you can see–the smells, the food, the freedom.

More often than not those desires dissolve into unfulfilled wishes becoming a distant dream you can’t seem to grasp. Many people forgo vacations far too long, most often due to lack of time and money.

A vacation doesn’t need to be costly or long to have benefits. An affordable weekend get-away is far better than none at all. The key is to fully unplug from work and the regular mundane activities of your life. This gives you an opportunity to recharge your body and mind which delivers exponential benefits, both short- and long-term.

Let the 10 benefits below move you out of procrastination and into action. Everyone wins when we take vacation! You may be surprised to find that our main excuse for not taking vacation, time and money, can actually increase as a result of ‘getting away’.
