It’s time to step off the treadmill 😵‍💫

Hi ,

Thanks so much for clicking on this email. 💖

How great are holidays? ✈️ 🤩 🏖️

Currently, we are on one so I’m writing this from Kuala Lumpur. 🌎

The thing about holidays is that once you finish Uni and start your career, you don’t get set holidays.

Well, you do, at the end of the year for Christmas and New Year but given the weight of expectations, stress and baggage the holiday season holds, it’s not often a relaxing break. 😵‍💫

So let’s talk about holidays. For me, holidays are a time for me to

✨ break out of my normal routine
✨ experience new people and places
✨ do what I love, sleep in, eat great food and spend uninterrupted time with Paul
✨ get a fresh perspective
✨ get inspired

It can be hard to stop, look ahead and plan a holiday. If you hate planning, it probably is the worst. Even if you enjoy planning, wrangling friends, partners or family to go on holidays with you can feel stressful. 🫠

But please know, it is worth it.

Look ahead to 2024.

Think about how you would like your year to be.

Book off time - at least 1 week (ideally longer), every so often. You don’t need to jump in your car or on a plane to reset, relax and rest. But if you can, get out of your usual environment, your usual routine and just be.

This time off will give you something to look forward to.

😍 It will give you the break you need.
😍 It will get you inspired and energised.
😍 It will get you off the hamster wheel.

If you’ve found this useful - please forward this onto a friend who needs to take a holiday.

And as always, send me an email or DM @thespeechielife_ to let me know how you'll be spending your time off, I would love to know! 💖

If you are looking at 2024 and craving for it to be different from 2023, book in a chat with me. I promise you, you will get off the call feeling energised and excited for 2024.
