Afraid of going away on holiday? 😬

Let’s quickly recap our month of “kindly peer pressuring our readers to book time off.” (Seriously, if you need an accountability buddy, we got you.) 

So far, we’ve talked about why all kinds of time off (holidays, life admin days, 3 day weekends) is worth having and protecting. Last week, Jade talked to us about the importance of play - especially how it rewrites how we experience time. 

These are related - we don’t always have enough days to take off, or if we do, we don’t always book the kind of time off we need to recharge. And when we do, we still don’t always prioritise doing what will be enjoyable. 

But if we have the days, and know what kind of time to take off, and know how to find ways to enjoy it, there’s nothing stopping us from having the Most Effective Time Off Ever. Right?

…wrong. You know and I know: one of the hardest parts of taking time off is the fear. Which fear, you ask? So many to choose from!

Maybe it’s the fear of getting in trouble for being away. Or it’s the fear of missing something important. Or the fear of something going terribly wrong. Or the fun fear that you forgot something. Or most understandable of all - fearing what you’ll come back to.
