Rest is vital for physical, mental and emotional health. Taking a few days of vacation is not only a labor right, it is also a fundamental psychosocial need for the well-being of the human being. However, there are many people who find it difficult to take time for themselves and put off the moment to disconnect, enjoy and rest.

Without a doubt, taking a break to recover physical, mental and emotional vitality is extremely necessary to achieve greater personal and collective well-being. The question is how to achieve it without feeling guilty?

Beyond the virus and its consequences, taking a break has been very difficult for many people, not only because of the economic situation, but also because of a feeling of guilt or remorse that occurs without knowing why and prevents total rest, enjoyment and disconnection. .

If you are one of the people who feels guilty when taking a break, it is important to understand that it is born when you think you are doing something wrong, causing harm to someone or missing moral principles or norms.

Given this scenario, it is convenient to ask yourself: Who am I harming by taking a few days off? What rule am I violating? If you find that you are overcharging a co-worker, family or partner, if you think you are abusing the company or spending unnecessary money:

· Delegate, team up and trust them.

Plan your vacations in time.

· Organize your budget.

no one is essential

At other times, taking vacations is limited by the thought that others will not be able to do the work in the same way that you do. If so, it is essential that the sense of being essential is managed, because in reality nobody is.

An element that can free you from guilt and enjoy without regrets is to think regarding the psychological benefits of taking vacations and resting, especially if you are someone focused on your personal, professional and family success:

· Revitalize and oxygenate the brain, which allows you to be more creative, develop flexible thinking, improve mental skills and find solutions that you did not see before.

· Strengthen mental health, preventing or helping in the processes of depression and anxiety, increasing levels of concentration and attention.

· You enrich emotional health, improving mood, reconnecting with intrinsic motivations, enhancing joy, reducing stress, keeping the present moment, improving self-esteem and relationships with yourself and with the environment.

If you want to increase your inner, physical, mental and emotional well-being, be more productive and happy, dare to enjoy this space for yourself without regrets, the results to come will thank you.
