Disconnecting from Work and Switching to “Vacation Mode”

For many of us, vacation is coming up and the time has come to figure out how to make sure we get the most out of these precious days. Knowing that vacations are often too short, and eagerly awaited all year, you’re definitely not alone in wanting to take advantage of this precious time. By the way, in writing this, we note that the concept of “time” is very present in our lives where, all too often, productivity reigns. With that being said, how is it possible, after months of life centering around work and the people we work with, to turn things around and let life center around ourselves for a few days or weeks? Leaving behind a daily routine focused on work or school for one that supports freedom, creativity, spontaneity, and moments to yourself is not an easy thing! We have come up with a checklist of things to help facilitate a vacation that feels lighter and further away from your usual worries.

There you go, that was probably your last to-do list before taking some time for yourself! One thing that will really help you to disconnect is realizing that you are not irreplaceable at work (except in certain cases) and making sure to spend quality time doing things that make you feel good.
