The One Thing That Ruins Almost Every Holiday

How many times have you caught yourself saying:

“I just want to switch off.”

I hear it all the time from business owners. And every time I do, I wonder… why does a holiday have to carry so much weight?

Somehow, we’ve convinced ourselves that these few days away have to fix everything. We tell ourselves we’ll finally relax, forget about work and not hear from anyone.

Then one email arrives. One phone call. One question from the team. And suddenly, the holiday feels “ruined”.

But here’s the question I’d like you to think about.

Why does one email or one phone call have the power to ruin an entire holiday?

I don’t think it’s as simple as it seems.

In the video below, I explain why and what I’d encourage you to do differently before your next break.

Watch the video below.

I really hope you have a wonderful holiday and, more importantly, that you give yourself permission to enjoy it, whatever it looks like.
