Reflect, Celebrate, Recharge

Posted December 19, 2019

This is the last post of 2019 and we want to take the opportunity to thank all our followers: clients, friends, family, readers, and everyone else I may be missing, even deleters and unsubscribers!

I know everyone is rushing to get all the holiday shopping done, finish up decorations, and help various charities with holiday events. You are doing great, you got this! You are almost at the finish line.

We tend to think that time is always running short, and we end up doing way less than we were hoping, but a lot of it is just perception, not reality. We typically want more of everything, so it’s perfectly normal we wish we had more time too. But if you look back there is a lot you accomplished in 2019, I am sure. Don’t believe it? Take some extra time off during the holidays, and find out.

Take a break

Yes, cut ties completely from work, you deserve it. Let go of everything for a few days, ignore the news, get into the holiday spirit, and enjoy this time with your loved ones. Binge-watch your favorite movies, eat your favorite foods and stay hydrated with plenty of prosecco. And, after the holidays are over, use the time to reflect on 2019. Go through the year, starting with the positives. You’ll discover you did amazing. We tend to overestimate how much we can do in a day, but underestimate how much we accomplish in a year. Then think about the negatives. Start with things you had to go through but you didn’t want to. You may find some positive aspects when you reflect on them. And then think about things that you wanted to do, but didn’t get to. You may find that you are glad you didn’t. And if there is something you still think it’s important, there is always 2020!

So, use your time off to reflect, celebrate your progress, and recharge; and stay tuned for exciting news from us in January!
