7 signs that your inner grumpy cat is in dire need of a vacation
Yes, indeed: the world seems to be lying on a tropical beach and you are stuck with your grumpy self at the office. You try to act normal, but your toes seem to be getting longer by the day and you know it. You need a vacation and you need it now. Your body is trying to signal it.
1. You snap
Especially at those who are close to you, because that feels nice. And you know they don’t really deserve it, but you just get annoyed quickly with ‘them’ in general. You argue. About nothing.
2. You can fall asleep at any moment of the day
You are tired. And even your tiredness is tired. Everything costs too much energy. Lifting an arm already feels heavy. Even if it’s just a weekend away or a short city trip; getting away for a bit would feel so good right now.
3. You have the feeling that you will get sick soon
You seem to catch a cold every other day, sniffling, feeling flu-like. That headache just won’t go away. Has the total decline really begun?
4. You are annoyed by Instagram
Because everyone seems to have free time and is chilling continuously and you, well, you are not. Liking vacation photos from friends? You genuinely try to get your finger to that like button, but it just doesn’t work. Not at all.
5. You keep looking at last-minute deals
Summer pictures, travel brochures, Skyscanner, Booking.com; all you do is scroll and dream and scroll and dream.
6. You drink more coffee than usual
I mean: not that it’s a choice, you just can’t do without it. You can’t seem to get through the days without your caffeine boost.
7. Your appetite is also weird
One moment you want two main courses in a restaurant, the next moment you struggle to eat a cracker. This is also a sign from your body that says it’s time for: yes, a vacation.
Hey, you have a summer dip. You just really want to have a week – or eight – off. Nothing to be ashamed of. Trust me: a good break is definitely not unnecessary in your case. Anyone have a few plane tickets? My advice: book very quickly. And otherwise, schedule some time off for yourself. Better for everyone.
