Struggling with the idea that you're going to be out of office or away from loved ones? Here's what therapists suggest.
Even though you’ve booked that much-needed vacation, you may have second thoughts about actually taking the time off.
The act of taking time to unplug and relax could result in an immense amount of unavoidable guilt. For instance, you may fear the implications of being away from work or feel anxious about leaving family members for some time, saidData published by the Pew Research Center in May 2023 found that nearly half ― 49% ― of workers surveyed say they don’t take their paid time off because they are worried they’ll fall behind at work. Other reasons the workers cited for not taking all of their PTO include feeling badly about colleagues taking on additional work and a fear they may lose their job.The workplace isn’t the only reason people hold back from vacation: Those who are caregivers often find it challenging to leave loved ones who depend on them.
So, how do you tackle the guilt that may be weighing you down and finally enjoy your vacation? We asked therapists to find out.“Plan your trip ahead of time so you have time to prepare yourself emotionally and logistically for the vacation,” saidKnowing your plans in advance provides a sense of control and time to deal with responsibilities you may be missing during your time off.
“Remember the positive effects of taking a vacation on your health. Understand that you’re doing something good for yourself,” said
