It's time to slow down

How many vacation days could you take while working? 1 week?10 days? Or just weekends? And, when you take it, can you unplug yourself from all the work you have to do? ⁠ I know how hard it can be to take a vacation and walk away from all the work you must do. Even, if you take this time off, maybe you check your phone, e-mails, or you spend some “productive time” even on vacation.⁠ ⁠ But, at the same time, you know you need this time to renew yourself and regain your energy. ⁠ My guest on The Travel Coach Nuria Rodriguez used to be a “workaholic”, not taking so many vacations. While using those days, she was taking some courses, trainings instead of disconnecting. ⁠ In 2018, she got ill and while doing some practices with plants she realized that she needed a break. She took all December off and went 3 weeks to India and 1 week to Spain ⁠ It’s not easy to overcome the monkey chatter of “you’re wasting time”, “you’re not productive”, “look how much work you need to do”, but all the energy that you receive on return is so worth it. ⁠ If you’re working and wondering how you can spend your vacations with “me time”, listen to this episode.⁠⁠⁠
