Yes. Another year has flown by and soon it will be time to wind down. But that isn’t always as easy as it sounds.  If you’re used to working at full speed, going into relaxation mode can be tricky.  Here are some tips to help you unwind and reboot during the holiday season. Remember, leaders with momentum look after themselves!

Choose your activities wisely

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of events in your calendar, remember that you don’t have to say yes to everything. Instead of feeling obligated to attend every event or party, be selective with your invitations. Prioritise activities you enjoy and set clear boundaries for yourself. Don’t be afraid to politely decline invitations or suggest alternative ways of spending time together, such as meeting up for a coffee or going for a walk.

Review the past year with gratitude

Take a moment to reflect on the past year with gratitude. Think about your accomplishments, challenges you overcame and lessons you learned. Write them down or share them with loved ones. Instead of sending end-of-year greetings, why not send thank-you notes to the people who made a positive impact on your life? This will not only make them feel appreciated, but it will also help you remember all the good things that happened throughout the year.
