Do you get stressed out about managing your time and getting everything done (work-wise and life-wise) during the busy holiday season? I know I have over the years.
Stress is like a sponge (especially during the holidays) – it sucks the joy out of our day … if you let it!
But I have a solution!
I’m going to ask you to do something that’s counterintuitive … Pause.
Yes, pause.
Take a deep breath, in this moment, while reading this (DO NOT add this to your to-do list!)
Seriously – give yourself the gift of a moment – THIS MOMENT – to think about…
- What do you want to experience this holiday season?
- If you had more time this holiday season, would you choose to…
- …enjoy family traditions?
- …relax with friends to celebrate the season?
- …create a fun and innovative environment for you and your team to show up, contribute, and go home feeling fulfilled instead of exhausted?
- Who do you want to BE? How do you want to show up? (I’m thinking the Grinch is probably not it …)
- What do you want to experience? Laughter, relief, community, ease?
