6 Ways To Relax During The Holiday Break

6-ways-to-relax-the-holiday-break

Raise your hand if you work while you are supposed to be on vacation. Please don’t feel bad. I’m totally guilty too. But working while you’re supposed to be taking a break can negatively impact your relationships, take you away from the present moment, and put you in a funky mood. The next thing you know, it’s time to go back to work, and you still don’t feel like you’ve had a vacation. So I’m proposing that we try something different this year and make a plan to enjoy our time off. Here are 6 ways to relax during the holiday break.

 

6 Ways To Relax During The Holiday Break

 

1. Enable your out-of-office message

This lets people know emails aren’t your priority right now, and you won’t be responding immediately.

 

2. Don’t check your work email

Checking email while you are on vacation is counterproductive to taking a break. If you feel you must, read them but do not respond.

 

3. Don’t set your alarm or at least sleep in

Don’t feel obligated to start the day as bright and early as usual. Take a break from your daily grind and get some extra rest.

 

4. Take a break from your devices

Focus on taking care of your needs, hanging with family, etc., and spending less time on electronics.

 

5. Don’t be afraid to say “no”

As much as you want to, you just don’t have time to do all the things. Rather than try, give yourself permission to opt out of invites and activities that can lead to feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Say yes to things that align with your priorities and that you enjoy.

 

6. Schedule some “me” time

The holidays are hectic, so make sure you steal some alone time to do something you enjoy. Go shopping, read a book, spend time on a hobby, or with family and friends.

 

Don’t let what is supposed to be a joyous time of the year leave you feeling drained and exhausted. Prioritize your peace, relax, and enjoy this holiday season!

 

Be inspired,

My name is Simone, and I'm addicted to sharing! On this blog, I share recipes, shopping tips, relationship and parenting advice, a joke, an opinion and just about everything in between. In between sharing, I run an integrated marketing agency where my love of details and straight lines are put to good use. But my most important job is being a wife and mother to a teenaged daughter who still seems to like me—for now anyway. That said, visit, socialize and most importantly, be inspired!

Maturity and experience have taught me that life gets better when you learn to tap into your calm, listen to your voice, and lead with your heart. It doesn’t mean you no longer experience all the chaos that life brings. It just means you know how to access your inner calm to quiet the noise. It also means that you take the necessary action to remove anything that negatively affects your life, causes you stress, or just isn’t working for you anymore. See 5 ways to protect your peace below and get more details plus 4 more tips to protect your peace on the blog. Link in bio.

1. Set boundaries
Setting healthy boundaries helps you protect your physical, mental, and emotional well-being and prevent feelings of resentment, anger, and burnout.

2. Avoid toxic people
Whether it’s your partner, your friend, or your boss, a toxic relationship can drain your energy and suck the life out of you. 

3. Know when to leave
Sometimes we put so much effort into a thing we feel we have to see it through and make it work no matter the cost. But when that effort comes with stress, anxiety, depression, and guilt, it’s time to move on. 

4. Ignore the opinions of others
Approval-seeking can cause you to prioritize the opinions of others over your own wants and needs. Set yourself free by letting go of anyone else’s expectations of you and focus on the only opinion that matters—yours!

5. Get more rest
Every woman I know is exhausted! With so much on our plates, getting a good night’s sleep can be challenging. When you make sleep a priority, it will benefit your overall health, leaving you feeling awake and refreshed throughout the day.
