This article was originally on GET.com at: 6 Surefire Signs You Need A Vacation ASAP
When was the last time you took a break from work and went on an amazing holiday with your loved ones, friends or even a solo trip outside of Singapore? Even though most Singaporeans want a better work-life balance yet don't mind slogging more, there's only so much a human being can handle while continuing to function optimally if one doesn't stop and take a breather.
We at GET.com work hard, but we sure value a good work-life balance, so it's hardly surprising that we jet out of Singapore whenever possible. Are you about to explode with pent up frustration at your work desk? Here are 6 surefire signs that you need a holiday, soon.
6 Signs You Need A Breather Outside Of Singapore ASAP
1. You're Jealous Of Everyone Pushing Their Wheeled Luggage
The distinctive sound of luggage being wheeled into lifts is unmistakable. Though you hold the doors open for the excited aunty and her family members so that they can wheel their bags into the lift, you give them a fake smile then proceed to question why life isn't fair. You can't handle seeing people with suitcases and the last place you want to be at is Changi Airport.
2. You've Been Liking All The Travel Pics On Your Social Media Feeds
Be it Facebook or Instagram, each time a beautiful travel picture pops up on your social media feed, you'll give your stamp of approval and 'like' the post. You'll double tap the travel photos even if they belong to some people who you don't consider your friends.
3. A Day Doesn't Pass Without You Complaining
Do you find yourself chanting 'I want to get out of the country' all day, every day? You might even have started cussing. While you might not consciously notice the frequency of your incessant whining, the people around you would have asked you to shut up for a moment and just clear your leave already.
4. You Flare Up Over The Tiniest Things
You get upset and start venting your anger at everybody at home, the chicken rice stall uncle at the coffeeshop, the cleaning aunty at the office, your colleagues, the uncle at MRT platform who warns you not to board the train because the doors are about to sandwich you.
Basically, every little thing is morphing into a huge issue, and you're directing your frustration at others, though you obviously shouldn't. You get the drift, right? You need to stop and give yourself a break before you break down and go crazy.
5. You Can't Remember When Was The Last Time You Slept Well
People lose sleep over many reasons, and more often than not, an overwhelming amount of stress causes an individual to be tense and anxious. As you would have guessed, too much stress can affect people by letting us experience nasty insomnia and a myriad of sleep problems.
Now, restful sleep is super important in helping us recharge. If you're currently losing decent sleep at night, you need to take a chill pill right away, go on a break, and start sleeping better. Check out these 5 things that you can do to sleep better if you don't know where to begin.
6. You Lose Interest In Everything
When you're feeling too jaded, it may come a time when you start losing interest in everything including your hobbies and the job that you once were living and breathing so much.
Whatever used to give you joy and motivation has started to become boring and meaningless. The only thing that you're interested in might be that bottle of wine or tequila that will help you cope with your unhappiness, albeit temporarily.
If the above sounds like you, it's high time you put everything down and requested for time off from work. It's imperative that you recharge and become you again, because you don't want to lose yourself to chronic stress.
