Make of the most of your summer break!

Who is itching for a summer break? Kids are out of school, it's sunny and warm, and you've been waiting for some time away from work. If you, like most of us, can't wait for some time away, you may also be prone to feeling more stressed and less relaxed than you had hoped while on your vacation.

It's an easy trap to fall into--sometimes the anxiety about taking time off ensures that you spend your day on the beach worrying about what it is you are missing by not being at your desk. You deserve a break that feels relaxing and rejuvenating, and you deserve to be fully present and in the moment on vacation. See this article for a few practical tips on making the most of your time off: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cutting-edge-leadership/201406/the-psychology-summer-vacations
