It’s been a while since I’ve posted some favorite quotes. While I enjoy some rest and relaxation this week, here are some quotes about how very important vacation time is! If you haven’t taken a break recently, is it time to do so?

Every person needs to take one day away.  A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future.  Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence.  Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.  Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. -Maya Angelou

In matters of healing the body or the mind, vacation is a true genius! -Mehmet Muran ildan

The paradox of relaxation is the renewal of mind; rekindle of spirit and revitalize of strength. -Laila Gifty Akita

Every person Needs a time out, away from stressful jobs, pressures from employers or clients, home responsibilities, etc., Everyone deserves to enjoy, visit unknown places, try other things, meet a lot of new friends, and feel at the top of the world. Life is full of fun, excitement, and adventure. Thus, vacation is an experience that’s worth remembering for a lifetime. It heals a weary mind and soul. -Alon Calinao Dy

If you’ve already taken vacation, create time to decompress every day. Go for a walk, read for half an hour, work in the garden, play with your child, meditate. Clear your mind of the pressures of the day and gather new energy for what’s next.
