The winter seems so very very long… I don’t know about you but I’m in desperate need of a holiday…
I know the winter has been kinder than in recent years… we’ve not had too much snow to contend with… but it’s cold, it’s dark, the days are short and quite frankly it can do one!
This is the time of year when I know I get to a point where I’m demotivated, I want to hibernate and come out when the sun shines through my window on a morning instead of bleak, cold darkness.
Christmas is over, for me my birthday has been and gone… so I’ve not got anything to look forward to until I book a holiday. Fortunately, we have just booked up to go to Mexico for 8 days… halle flippin’ lujah!!!
How is everyone feeling?
Have you hit that sticking point where you want to hibernate too? Other than work you can’t quite decide what to do with your time, where to go… It’s cold outside and everywhere else seems to cost you money… You’ve had a mega binge over Christmas and your nutrition has finally got back on point but you’re fed up of the “healthy” options already?
I urge you to go out and book a holiday… even if it isn’t abroad, even if you’re not sure you can afford it… book the time off from work for the summer… have something to look forward to… Start saving your pennies (We’ve got a Mexican money pot in the house – money goes in and none comes out until it’s full and you smash it) If you only put £2 coins in you’re looking at £1k when it’s full… when it’s the rule of the £2 coins you don’t even notice putting them in, it’s not a massive dent in your finances… but this could be enough to get you away…
The point is, when you book a holiday or some time off work… it gives you something to look forward to… It gives you a focus and a drive, whether that be to save up to get something booked, get in shape ready for your trip or even just giving yourself a sense of clarity that in however many weeks you can switch off and relax… You find a new sense of reinvigoration… You become more prepared to take on the world each and every day in the run up…
Let’s face it, if you’re constantly grinding… constantly working… without any signs of a rest… your mind and your body becomes drained of motivation… if you’re running a marathon and you can see the finish line, you get a boost, you find the energy to finish and your pace quickens…
Time to find your motivation… it may be hiding but it’s in there somewhere… Let’s bring it out…
Book up…
