🗺️ Travel TWOsday: Flip the Script on Your Holiday Season and Build a Great 2025 ✨ One thing I’ve learned from years of planning trips—both for myself and others—is that great vacations are built with intention. They don’t happen by accident. The same applies to how we wrap up the year. Reflection, recalibration, and recharging can help you enjoy this season guilt-free while building momentum for 2025. In my latest article, I share three simple ‘travel tips’—The 3 R’s—that work like year-end souvenirs for your life: ➡️ Reflect on what did work. ➡️ Recalibrate and drop the guilt over what didn’t. ➡️ Recharge by setting boundaries and showing up as the best version of you. For me, this is the end of my 90-day Vacation Method—a season I’ll celebrate like a ‘vacation’ with loved ones, fully present and recharged. 🎄 Want to flip the script on overwhelm and unfinished to-do lists? Read the full article to plan your best holiday season yet and kick off 2025 with momentum. 👇 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/g7PFq5zJ 🔄 What’s one way you’re reflecting or recharging as you close out the year? Drop your thoughts below—I’d love to hear how you’re flipping the script! #GoalSetting #YearEndReflection #HighPerformanceHabits #IntentionalLiving #LeadershipDevelopment

Just returned from an unforgettable 2-week vacation, with 9 days spent exploring the breathtaking Canadian Rockies. Mountains and beaches are the perfect antidote for the relentless pace of corporate life, where the pressure to always be "on" / “up and running” can be overwhelming. Sometimes, it's just so essential to step back and take a break in nature. While city holidays are common, immersing in the natural world can end up offering more than a typical vacation. Here's how: 1. Disconnecting with screens: Surprisingly, the network connectivity in the Rockies was quite limited. This break from constant information bombardment allowed me space to clear my mind and remind myself of what truly matters in my professional pursuits. 2. Rejuvenation for the mind: Fresh air, serene lakes, and grand mountains, combined with a break from screens, can have a profound sense of calm and well-being. It has definitely helped me clear my mind of some unwanted and over-exaggerated clutter. 3. A reminder of our place in the grand scheme: Nature's vastness can humble us, reminding us that we are a speck in the universe. This ego-crushing experience reminds us that we should chase fulfillment at work, and not external manifestations that are superficial and immaterial. P.S. - I couldn't resist sharing this stunning view from my holiday in the Rockies! #canadianrockies #worklifebalance

Lessons learned from my vacation🌴✈☀ Vacations aren't just about relaxation and exploration; they are also opportunities for growth and introspection. Embrace the Unexpected: No matter how meticulously you plan your vacation, there will always be surprises along the way. Instead of letting unexpected events derail your plans, embrace them as part of the adventure. Disconnect to Reconnect: In today's hyperconnected world, it's easy to get caught up in emails, social media, and constant notifications. I used last week to disconnect from work-but I maaaay have done one Teams call to show my team the beach 😎Kritika Menon Tracy Takyi Bassey ❤ Appreciate the Beauty of Diversity: Traveling exposes you to different cultures, languages, and ways of life. Live in the Moment: It's easy to get caught up in planning for the future or dwelling on the past, but true happiness is found in the present moment. Cherish the Memories: As the saying goes, "Collect moments, not things." While souvenirs may fade and photos may yellow with time, memories last a lifetime. Take plenty of photos to capture the highlights of your vacation, but don't forget to also be fully present in the moment. A pic of my very relaxed, tanned self and a new coffee cup ☕😋 #vacations #mentalhealth #liveinthemoment

**#Returning from Vacation: When Your Thoughts Resist the #Workday** Returning from vacation to #work can be incredibly challenging. My entire body seems to #resist, from my hands and feet to my head, which outright rebels against the #workday. Do you feel the same? Spending an entire month in #America has shown me what I do and don't like about #traveling. I might be one of the few who admits to being conservative, loving the comfort of my own bed and the scent of home. Traveling can be a very stressful affair for me. To enjoy traveling, everything must be perfectly planned: a beautiful hotel, good #food, and precise #organization. I'm a gourmet and need to immerse myself in the atmosphere of a new place, to appreciate its beauty and the people who inhabit it. #History fascinates me, but the present moments are just as important—the scents, tastes, colors, sounds, and moods that I perceive and which my brain processes to form reflections and conclusions. America amazed me. It is beautiful, vast, wonderful, complex, rich, and poor, lonely and open, sad and happy. America is everything one can imagine and more. Its diversity and complexity are so profound that it is difficult to define it simply. You need to feel it. Despite my love for #home, I have fallen in love with America. I like it so much that I am eager to return, even though I am the type who loves my own bed and the scent of home. America is a place that deserves to be explored, full of contrasts and unique experiences. #realestate #interactiveConnections #investment #management #luxury #RealEstateInvesting #positive #Nataliya 😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗😘😘💋💋❤️❤️

A Lesson in Flexibility and Resilience As the holiday season approaches, many of us are either eagerly anticipating or tentatively planning our travels. While visiting loved ones and exploring new places can be incredibly rewarding, the journey itself often brings its own set of challenges. Delayed flights, unexpected weather changes, and the sheer hustle of bustling airports can test our patience and fortitude. Yet, it is precisely these experiences that remind us of the vital roles that flexibility and resilience play in not just ensuring a joyful holiday but in enhancing our overall quality of life. The true lesson in holiday travel, and indeed any of life's journeys, is the realization that while we cannot control every external circumstance, we have full command over our reactions. Ensuring joy is about finding beauty and humor in unexpected situations, cherishing the moments that become stories of adventure rather than annoyance. Prepare for your travels with a sense of adventure. Allow room in your itinerary for spontaneous experiences and practice gratitude for the people and places that color your journey. Equip yourself with the mindset that come what may, each part of your travel story is contributing to your personal growth and resilience. #perception#resilience#flexibility#mindset#lifejourney#
