The holidays and I, historically, don’t get along so good.
Oh I enjoy them just fine, but like many, they stress me out. So, over the years I’ve collected quite the repertoire of ways to set myself up for success. One of which, is unplugging.
Given the way that Christmas and New Year’s fell on the calendar this year, I took 2 weeks off (I know!) and I feel fantastic.
Refreshed. Restored, even.
It was nice to wind down, rest, and reset. Now, I’m excited to be back in the swing of things. I’m reminding myself to go slow — sprinting out of the gate after New Year’s can set the stage for an entire year of feeling behind. No thanks.
Sustainable and consistent, please.
onward.
