SURPRISE ME!
That dream holiday you have always wanted to go on, a road trip with your best friends, the promise of taking your kids to Disneyland… where did all those travel plans disappear? If the answer to that is a look of remorse or a deep sigh, then my friend, you need a vacation. Now.
Need more convincing? If you nod along most, if not all, points below, it’s time you stop thinking about travel and actually take a holiday.
#10 You look at friends’ holiday photos on Facebook and wish you were there instead. There, we caught your #fomo!
#9 Your 9-to-5 job has become monotonous and you find yourself daydreaming about your next (make-believe) holiday during meetings.
#8 You often try to make quick plans with your pals to malls, restaurants and pubs, if your long-term vacation plans are not taking shape.
#7 You keep checking hotel and flight fares for various destinations, as usual.
#6 Try recalling your last holiday. Do it for ten seconds. Its memories are blurred because there’s nothing new to replace it with. (*Sad face*)
#5 You keep saying things like ‘I need a six-month vacation, twice a year’ every other day.
#4 You’re not as inspired going to work every day, facing difficulties waking up in the morning, feeling sleepy at work. Coffee is your saviour at work!
#3 Workouts at the gym have reduced from every day to once a week. It’s been long since you read the book on your nightstand. Whatever your hobbies are, you are just not as involved as you used to be. Basically, nothing could energise you as a vacation right now!
#2 You’re becoming more and more obsessed with your smartphone. Which only means you need a digital detox. Camping in the Himalayas, anyone?
#1 The points above have inspired you to open up a calendar and make a plan (or better yet, head on to an unplanned vacation!)
