You need a vacation! Take one at the best day spa in Chicago

You deserve a break! We know! Every day, we see clients come in for a spa massage in Chicago, talking about the stress at work. Clients who notice dark circles under their eyes call us to schedule one of the Spa Space facials Chicago professionals rave about. Research shows that taking time off from work isn’t an indulgence, it’s essential to those who want to be effective, creative and productive at work.

To be your best – at work, at home or even at the ballpark – you need to take vacations. But here at Spa Space, one of the most service-oriented spas in Chicago, we understand that wanting or even needing a vacation doesn’t necessarily mean you can always get away for a vacation.

That doesn’t change the fact that you need to take a break to recharge your batteries.  So, if a trip to a resort spa in Hawaii or Florida isn’t in the budget this year, consider a staycation with a special spa package at Spa Space, voted the best spa in Chicago!

Yes, you can take time off

The family budget or the need to stay close to home to take care of a sick relative or friend are good reasons not to catch the next plane out of town. The amount of work in your inbox is not. Seriously!

As John DiScala, Founder and CEO, Johnny Jet, says in 3 Reasons You’re Afraid to Take a Vacation, and Why You Absolutely Should, “Let’s face it — there is always more to do, you just don’t need to run yourself into the ground for it. There’s a common misconception that Americans believe they need to work excessively. It’s so bad that American workers aren’t taking their paid time off.”

DiScala highlights three common reasons people give for not taking a vacation:

  1. “My business won’t make it without me.”
  2. “I’ll come back to a huge workload.”
  3. “No one can do my job while I’m out.”

According to DiScala, with a little bit of planning, scheduling and honest self-assessment, you can overcome these objections and find you really can take time off to recharge and renew.

Why you really need to take a vacation

“You’re not going to be useful or productive if you’re overworked and burned out. In fact, you may actually be hurting your health by not taking a few days,” DiScala says. “Stress and depression normally coincide with each other when referring to work. So, it’s no surprise that if you’re suffering from depression, that relaxation can help alleviate that for you.”
