It's not just the calendar that tells you it's vacation time. Our behavior and our body can also tell us this. Here are 5 subtle signs that you need to take a vacation today.
How can you know it might be time to take one a few days off?
1. You're super irritable at work.
When it's time for a longer rest, it will show in your behavior. It's not true that you suddenly can't stand your colleagues, you actually get along with them perfectly, but everything is easier if they are also unhappy. If you've been irritable at work lately, this will also affect your work and relationships, so consider this a sign that you need a few days off.
2. Your work ethic is lacking.
Everyone has 'fallen asleep' at work. In some cases it is boredom, in other cases it is lack of work. But if your hands are full of work and you don't have the will to do it, maybe it's time for some vacation.
3. Don't sleep.
If you hate going to bed because you know you'll be tossing and turning all night, then you have a problem. Lack of sleep will also affect how you feel at work the next day. If you are irritable and can't concentrate, then taking a vacation is a must, as this will help you get your sleep back in order.
4. The ill will of colleagues is transferred to you.
Vibrations, emitted by someone near you, will also reflect on you. So if your co-worker is constantly complaining about how bad everything is, you'll feel a little worse yourself. This can leave you mentally exhausted.
5. You have no will to help others.
When you're barely present, then "impatience" doesn't even come close to describing the lack of empathy you have for others. Unfortunately, at work you are forced to communicate with colleagues and to be part of a team. If everything is "hanging down" for you, so to speak, then this is a sign that you need to check what is happening with you. So you will need some time.
