Holidays are over…
The last suitcases get unpacked,
The sand is wiped of the summershoes,
Our skin is still a silent witness of the glorious sun we’ve enjoyed,
Even the small bottle of showergel still reminds us of the warm en luxurious showers we took in the hotel,…
Yes, I can go on and on … and even for those who did not go to a hotel, we all have that special feeling during the summer holidays of:
Not having to rush
Not having to cook huge meals – a salad is perfect
Finally having the time to read that book that’s been lying on your nightstand for months
Going for that walk
Going for a bike trip
…
Why do I get you all to long for these past weeks?
Well, I would like all of you to hold on
to that relaxed feeling
to that taking care of our body
to that being OK with doing nothing for a while
to that catching up with things/ people you like
…
Because you can keep doing most of those things while getting back to work. It’s all a matter of prioritizing and organizing your time.
Stop saying automatically: I have to, I must, I need to, …
Says who?
Evaluate the situation and then decide whether it is something that can not wait, that you, yourself have to do.
In doing so, we make our schedule lighter and therefor we are more relaxed because we have some spare time in which you can do fun things, things you normally reserve for “when you have the time”.
Create the time and you will be happier in both your work and your family/personal time!!!
Enjoy life NOW!!
