4 Things That Should Never Be Missing In Your Vacation.

If you work hard, holiday hard. That is one formula for a renewed vigour.

The whole essence of a holiday is to stay off work for the purpose of recreation.  Recreation is about activities that refreshes or renews  you.  However, spending time away from work alone  doesn't necessarily translate to a recreation.Idleness even though it is a form of inactivity  is not recreation in the real sense if it. 

So what constitutes a recreation? If you knew this then you will be clear about what should form the key activities of your vacation. The critical things that should never be missing in your vacation.  

A great holiday should revive all the critical aspects of your being.  Unless certain areas of your person is renewed, your holiday could be technically described as  unhelpful.How does one achieve such a vacation? Here are four things your vacation should include to make it worthwhile: 

Mental rejuvenation

To rejuvenate yourself mentally to be at your best, you should engage in activities that unclutter your mind, regenerates and increases your capacity to achieve more. Use your holiday period to take away all forms of mental rust by learning new things that would help you discover new approaches. Any knowledge that makes you more strategic and creative is a win for you. Unless it's a permanent retirement, you should never neglect to prepare for the life after the holiday. Take a short course, attend seminars or read new book and watch capacity building videos. Seek ways to upgrade your present capabilities. New capacity brings renewed confidence.

Spiritual renewal

Your spiritual state is critical to your personal performance. A weak spirited man will chicken out of challenges. Same way, a strong spirited individual brutally confronts and sees her challenge as an opportunity to scale.  She doesn't easily succumb to external negative pressure. If your heart is strong, hard things will become easy. If your heart is weak, easy things will become hard says a Chinese proverb. To renew your spirit, choose  activities that build  your tenacity. Spend enough time in prayer,meditation and study of Scriptures. The Bible is a great spiritual book.Fast also.  Engaging in fast apart from being a spiritual muscle building exercise, many people who engaged in fasting infer it is capable of reinvigorating your sixth sense.  

Physical Recreation

Health is everything. A weak or sick body is unable to work. The holiday period is a time to extensively rejuvenate your body. Eat right and take a lot of rest. Unwind with games, sports, movies and visit people you care about and go to places that offer you the biggest fun and relaxation. Don't take yourself serious, at least throughout this period of vacation. Play!! The first law  of happiness is: "work hard and play hard". Go ahead and play your self to stupor, nobody deserves it more than you do.  Laugh out loud and catch all the leisure you can.  Spend some time at the gym or engage in physical exercises that help you lose excess fat . Also, Fast. Apart from it's spiritual benefits, it has an additional benefit of helping your body get rid of harmful toxins. Toxins are chemical enemies you accumulate over time.They attack you from inside until you become physically incapacitated.

Social renewal

More often than not, work takes a good chunk of ones time away from loved ones. For many decades family- work balance has been on the front burner discussions. Yet, it's still a feat that constantly eludes most hard workers. It has become more or less an insurmountable challenge to many. Holiday time affords you the rare opportunity to make and reinforce those vital  family connections that has subtly evaded you. There is no sugar coating it,financial success at the expense of family is empty. Your family alone and not any of your material possession is the only thing you have the opportunity of seeing again after death. Your household therefore is your most valuable possession on earth. Holiday is the time to give your family her rightful place in the scheme of things. Give them special and  undivided attention during your vacation.  Go out with them and play together, without the usual distractions from work.

Finally, taking vacation is only a strategy for greater performance. If you are not at your best after your holiday, the whole vacation was probably a waste. Taking lessons and making the right adjustments based on the points above will help your vacation achieve the four things that should never be missing in your vacation. Those things collectively put you in your best form .
