Do you feel like you can hear secret signals telling you that you should go on vacation? Going on vacation should not only be an obligation for you to spend your days off, but also a need to refresh your body and spirit to achieve better results at work, as well as in private life. If you've been feeling nervous or upset lately for an unknown reason, here are 11 signs that might tell you that you should book a vacation as soon as possible:
Your routine makes you depressed.
If your days are filled with monotony and the once dynamic routine now seems boring, it means it’s time to make some change. Vacation will refresh your mind and body, and also boost your creativity so you will most likely add new exciting things to your routine.
You are negative all the time.
It's okay to feel negative some days. However, if you have been feeling negative for weeks or months, and even the slightest problem makes a drama, then it is a sign that you need a break urgently. A 2018 study by the American Psychological Association has shown that vacations work by removing people from the activities and environments that they associate with stress and anxiety.

You have trouble sleeping.
If you have trouble sleeping, then your body is experiencing some form of stress. According to The American Psychological Association, a third of Millennials do not get the recommended eight hours of sleep each night because they do not have time, while the others have too much on their minds.
Research has also shown that most Americans would be happier, healthier, and safer if they were to sleep an extra 60 to 90 minutes per night. Vacation is the right time not to think about work and problems, and you have days filled with quality sleep.
You have a lot of vacation days at work
Haven't used your vacation since last year? Do you remember the last time you were on vacation? If the answer to both questions is no, then this is a big sign that you need to go on vacation.
Besides, overworking has a bad effect on people’s bodies. Working too much leads to poor sleep quality, increased weight, heart problems, stress, anxiety, depression, and so on. Go on vacation as soon as possible and improve your health.

You are not focused and you make mistakes at work.
Regardless of your amazing skills and results at work, every employee needs a vacation to mentally recharge, this helps to stay focused and engaged on the job. If you work too much and rarely go on vacation, your creativity will decrease. A lack of concentration leads to making mistakes. Additionally, the holiday acts as a kind of ‘system reset’ so you will return to the firm fresh and full of energy to work.
All you think about is work.
Another clear sign that you need a vacation is the fact that you have turned your life into a job. If you are still thinking about work after you return home from the office, making plans for tomorrow, or telling your friends about work constantly, then you need a break. Because work is your priority, your social life suffers.
Also, you are exhausted and do not have time for any activity other than work. Going on a vacation will remind you to relax and enjoy other nice things in life. You will dedicate yourself and realize that there are many more important and interesting things than work.
You often think about buying hanging chairs and outdoor lounge chairs.
During the summer, we want to spend most of our time outside in the sun. Instagram is full of pictures of bloggers spending time on outdoor lounge chairs or hanging chairs.

You fight stress with bad habits.
If you started with bad habits due to stress at work or dissatisfaction in your private life, then you should take a vacation. Fighting stress with bad habits such as smoking, overeating, drinking alcohol, or biting fingernails, will lead to just the opposite of what you want. Your vacation will relax you and relieve your stress so you won’t need to reach for a bottle of wine every day after work.
You treat others better than yourself.
Showing love, attention, and respect to others is extremely important, but you should not neglect yourself. How many times have you harmed yourself for the benefit of others? If you forget to focus on yourself and love yourself, then you should immediately go on a vacation. If you do not take care of your physical and mental health, it will have a bad effect on your overall condition, as well as on your job and relationships. Vacation is there to help you get rid of stress and enjoy the things you love.
You are obsessed with searching for a dreamy destination on your smartphone.
Do you use every free moment to fantasize about a vacation on the beach, oceans, mountains, or exotic destinations? So maybe it's time to listen to your intuition and book a vacation. You've probably searched the perfect destination a few times a week, enough for social media to constantly expose you to travel ads. If you find yourself searching for tourist destinations or constantly liking pictures of other people on their vacation, it's high time you went on vacation too.
