The Holidays can feel like running a marathon. But it doesn’t have to be like that. 
 My latest article is all about viewing the holidays as a collection of MEANINGFUL MOMENTS, instead of a marathon. What friends do you really care to visit with? And how to best do that? It is marvelous to be social and chat with everyone during the holidays, but that's not realistic. Pick and choose only things that fill up your soul. 
 Let’s reimagine holiday traditions that protect your energy and bring you more joy, not less. Want practical tips for setting boundaries, managing your energy, and what to pack in your “holiday survival kit” this season?

Have you taken a vacation this year? 🏖️✈️ In my book "Don't Die with Vacation Time," I explore why vacations are crucial for our well-being. Research shows they reduce stress, improve heart health, and boost happiness. This isn’t age-specific; everyone benefits from taking breaks. Learn more about the science behind vacations here: https://prn.to/3WDH24q How vacation can benefit you at different life stages: 👉 20s and 30s: Time to explore, learn, and experience new cultures. 👉 40s and 50s: Reconnect with family and reflect on personal and professional goals. 👉 60s and Beyond: Enjoy relaxation, hobbies, and quality time with loved ones. Understanding the evolving importance of vacations through life gives you The Ageless Edge. It's a timeless need for rest and rejuvenation, key to sustained success and happiness. For the next 30 days, I'll be taking a stay-cation to celebrate Richard's 90th birthday. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone back in September, refreshed and ready for new achievements.

The cost of overwork isn’t just burnout—it’s life itself. Andrea Goeglein, PhD's newly released book, “Don’t Die with Vacation Time”, drives home a crucial message: taking breaks is essential, not optional. The recent The Wall Street Journal article on Bank of America’s workload policies tragically underscores this truth. At Go Long, we see this every day. #Burnout isn’t just about feeling tired—it’s about losing touch with what truly matters, from your health to your happiness. We help clients reframe their approach to work and life, ensuring that their well-being is never sacrificed on the altar of productivity. Your vacation days aren’t just perks—they’re lifelines. Whether it’s a full getaway or incorporating downtime in your life on a daily basis, these breaks are vital to maintaining a balanced, fulfilling life. Andrea’s book reminds us that time off isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. If we fail to honor this, the consequences are far greater than a missed deadline—they’re missed opportunities for a life well-lived. Let’s rethink how we approach work. Check out Andrea's book at the link below, and if burnout is already knocking on your door, let’s talk about how Go Long can help you reclaim your life. #TakeYourPTO #WorkLifeBalance #Wellness #TheAgelessEdge

🎄 Work Hard, Celebrate Joyfully 🎄 As professionals, we often pride ourselves on hard work, focus, and commitment. And while these qualities shape our success, it’s equally important to take a step back and embrace the moments that truly matter. The holiday season is a gentle reminder: life isn’t just about deadlines and deliverables. It’s also about family dinners, laughter with friends, and the magic of twinkling lights. It’s about reflecting on the year that’s passed and recharging for the year ahead. So, as we wrap up another busy year, let’s remind ourselves: 🎁 Working hard is fulfilling, but rest is essential. 🎄 Celebrate the wins—big and small. 🎅 Make space for joy, gratitude, and connection. Whether you're spending the holidays with loved ones or carving out quiet moments for yourself, I hope this season brings you peace, happiness, and balance. Here’s to a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with both hard work and cherished moments! #MerryChristmas #WorkLifeBalance #Gratitude #Holidays

How do you reset at work after a break or quieter summer period? #HolidayMode #LinkedInNewsEurope Holidays are a teachable moment. A crossroads. A moment of clarity. If it takes you several days to feel like "you" when you're on holiday, that's a sign that you need to make some adjustments. Notice what you loved about your holidays - seeing friends or family? Time to pause and look at the horizon? A chance to read a book? Stay present when you return, instead of unconsciously throwing yourself back into busy-ness. Reconnect with your purpose. What's your why? What drives you? What do you really want? If you use your summer break to reset yourself and your path ahead, you'll dive into the Autumn and Q4 with renewed vigour. #presence #courageousleadership #selfcompassion (image: sunset view from a roof terrace in Naxos)

I did a little digging the other day—not for the traditional holidays, but for those fun little daily celebrations we sometimes miss! So, I pulled together a list of holidays to celebrate through the rest of the year, and I thought it’d be fun to share. Are you ready? Let’s kick this off! Sunday, October 13, 2024, has not one, not two, but three celebrations! First up: National Train Your Brain Day —time to give those neurons a workout! Next, we have National No Bra Day… Ladies, I’m guessing this one might be a popular choice. And finally, it's International Day for Failure. Now, before you think, "Failure? That sounds negative," let's flip the script. Failure can actually be awesome! Why? Because we learn and grow from it. If you’re not failing, are you really pushing yourself? Stepping outside of your comfort zone? So maybe it’s a 3-way tie for the top celebration today! Which one are you going to celebrate? Or all three? Let me know what you think! #TrainYourBrainDay #NoBraDay #InternationalDayForFailure #CelebrateTheLittleThings #DailyHolidays #FunHolidays #EmbraceFailure #LearnAndGrow #SundayFunday #PositiveMindset #CelebrateEveryDay #NationalDay #OctoberCelebrations #StepOutsideYourComfortZone #LifeCoachKMack

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all my LinkedIn connections for your continued support and collaboration throughout the year. Wishing you all a joyous holiday season filled with happiness, peace, and prosperity. Looking forward to achieving new milestones together in the coming year. Happy Holidays! #comcastbusiness #iworkforcomcast

🎄✨ Tis the season to reflect ✨🎄 The holidays are a time for joy, connection, and—let’s be honest—a little too much eggnog. 🍹 But as we deck the halls and wrap up another year, it’s also the perfect moment to think about what truly matters. 💡 Happiness. Not just the kind that comes from holiday cheer (or watching the Hawks dominate on the court 🏀🔥), but the deep, lasting happiness that comes from loving what we do and where we do it. Work takes up so much of our lives, so why shouldn’t it be a place that inspires, uplifts, and brings out our best? Imagine a workforce where: 🎁 Laughter is part of the daily grind. 🎁 Collaboration feels like a gift exchange of ideas. 🎁 Success is celebrated like a Hawks victory—loud, proud, and as a team. This holiday season, let’s make a resolution: Create workplaces where people are excited to show up—not just for the paycheck, but for the purpose, the people, and the pride in what they do. Because a happy workforce isn’t just good for business—it’s good for the soul. ❤️ Wishing you a holiday season filled with warmth, joy, and maybe courtside seats to see the Hawks soar! 🏀🎉 #WorkplaceHappiness #HolidayCheer #HawksWinningVibes
