But it’s not always clear what the best way is to spend the break. Should you have a staycation and savour time with your family? Or would travel to a new (or even familiar) location be a better option? Is reading a smarter use of your time, or would you rather meet up with friends? If you’re planning on winding down this Christmas, here are some ways you can get the recharge you seek.
Reflect
The end of the year is a good time to get some perspective on what you do as a businessperson. Think about the wins you’ve achieved, the promising relationships you have begun, and how far you have come in your entrepreneurial journey. Recall why you started your business, and be inspired afresh by your mission and vision. Even if it’s been a tough year, know that there are opportunities for progress in the future, and be optimistic for what lies ahead.Keep a Journal
It’s probably a good idea to begin recording your daily thoughts and experiences in a journal. What this does is to give you clarity about where you are mentally, and how (or whether) you’re progressing towards your goals for personal growth and development. You might not have the time or space to begin journaling at some other time; this could be the ideal moment for you to start. The stronger you are as a person, the more able you will be to handle the demands that your business and personal engagements place on you.Sign up to the Connect Nigeria daily newsletter
