Stacking Leave is Cool, but here’s Why You Should Take a Vacation Every Year

A vacation is a time to get away from the daily grind, recharge your batteries, and restore your mental health. A break from work can help you focus on what’s important in life. As fellow Service Members our leave is a privilege and a right.

Thank you for Your Service. Volunteering to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic” can take its toll at any capacity and career path that you’ve chosen. It is important to take some time for yourself.

Time is not money. Money is money. But taking some of your time to do something nice for yourself is a tremendous benefit to the mental health of you and your loved ones. Plus, you deserve it

Vacations can also boost your physical health and improve your relationships with friends and family. If you know you’re about to stunt on’em at the beach or on you next several social media posts, you are going to want to present your best self. And if you don’t, those “Cuffin’ Season” body pictures when it’s “Choosin’ Season” will surely help motivate you to get back into the gym, or take care of your fitness at home.

A recent study by the University of Queensland found that just two weeks away from work can lower stress levels and blood pressure. So, not only do vacations help you escape from your hectic life and recharge your batteries, they also make you healthier!

Vacations are the primary gifts to ourselves and loved ones that are not soon forgotten. So don't wait any longer! Use some of that time you’re already spending on social media and start planning your next trip today.
