Can you get through this post without booking a vacation?

Itching to get away? Has it been far too long since your last vacation? If so, you’re likely not alone. So many of us get so bogged down with work, deadlines and day-to-day responsibilities that travel can fall to the bottom of the priority list – but it shouldn’t. Travel has the power to rejuvenate you, boost creativity, keep you sharp and make you happier.

Whether you’ve been daydreaming about sipping sangria beachside or you’re not sure you have the time to travel, we’re willing to bet that you may not be able to get to the end of this post without booking a vacation….

Because your alarm clock is going to go off tomorrow…

If you were on vacation, you could sleep as long as you’d like.

And you may not remember life without caffeine…

Hello dark roast, my old friend…

Another day of commuting awaits you.

So. many. cubes.

Remember how awesome other people are in the morning?

So friendly.

Your inbox looks like this…

You checked your email yesterday…

You’ve still got a whole week in the office ahead of you…

Gets in at nine. Works six hours. Looks at clock. 9:03 a.m.

Full of leftovers lunches and eating at your desk…

2 p.m. coffee is a daily norm…

And guess what? You get to repeat that day…

Again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again.

Because adulting is hard.

But, you know where you could be lounging?

Here.

Eating things like…

This.

Drinking things like…

This.

And experiencing things like this…

And this…

You know what sites you could be seeing?

This one.

Do you know what kind of service you could be receiving?

Prost!

Do you know how comfy hotel beds are?

V. comfy.

You know what kind of memories you could be making?

This kind.

Or the friends you could be meeting?

Hi, friends!

Think of how tan you could be right now.

Don’t forget the SPF.

Or how relaxed you could be.

Happy as a pig in… the ocean.

The kind of relaxed you can only feel when you’re away from all of your worries.

Ahhhh.

Or how much you could be making your coworkers, family and friends jealous.

#wishyouwerehere (or not).

It’s almost winter. Remember winter?

Nope.

Lovely winter.

Nope. nope. nope.

Guess where it’s not winter. Here:

You know you want it.

You know you need it.

In fact, a study has proved that looking forward to a trip makes you happier…

It’s SCIENCE. (Seriously, it’s in the “Journal of Psychological Science.”)

So go ahead… book your next trip.
