Why you should book a ski holiday

We all know someone who if they could would work 24 hours a day. The sort of person who you get emails from at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. Even when they are on holiday call you just to check things are OK.

What do they achieve? That’s a good question?.  Work is work and life is life, but work should not be life. Making time to travel is important in keeping a balance between work and play. Can you believe that a quarter of people say they haven’t taken a family holiday, if they’ve taken one at all? There are lots of reasons why people don't travel—in fact, many people don’t even like to travel—but there is still an incredible need to take time away from the workplace.

Studies have shown that there are very positive effects when people take the time to travel (this includes those who take long-distance trips and those who take staycations. Consider the following benefits of a ski holiday:

• Increased creativity
• Increased productivity and efficiency on the job
• Less likely to burn out on the job
• Regular holidays keep stress levels lower and energy levels high
• Improved mood
• Better relationships with family and friends
• Less stress overall

We can appreciate that there is an innate fear of taking advantage of holidays , especially with a rocky economy hovering in the background. Everyone had the same concerns but you do need to get out of the office every now and then.

• Who will respond to my emails, phone calls, etc?
• My work will pile up and then I’ll fall behind.
• I am the only person who knows how to do my job.
• Will my boss decide that I’m not necessary?

You earned your time off so why not book a ski holiday, use the time and use it well. Work ahead if possible, and then make a commitment to truly leave the work behind. Unplug. Breathe. Enjoy the mountain air and relax, your body and your family will thank you for it.
