Getting the work/play balance RIGHT...
One of my favourite little mottos, which I often repeat to my lovely team, is that we work to live, we don’t live to work. Sometimes I find myself so consumed in work that it ends up spilling into my ‘me’ time and the lines between work and play end up seriously blurred. 🙈 This is totally not healthy and it’s something I’m always urging my staff to stay away from. We all need to be able to switch off and enjoy life’s pleasures without the stress of work lingering in the background.
With the official start of summer just around the corner and peak holiday season fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to take a well deserved BREAK. Eeeeeeek! 🌴 For many of us, this will be the first year we’ve travelled since 2019 and we just can’t wait to be sunning it up in a hot country. UK weather is not a vibe! 🤣
Myself and our Digital Marketing Manager Alex have already had our ***out of office*** switched on this month. I ventured to Vegas a couple of weeks ago with best friends to celebrate a special birthday. We saw Ashanti and Sean Paul at a R&B festival on the strip, how cooool? Meanwhile, Alex has been exploring Dubai with her boyfriend and has visited some spectacular places with the most insane views. Picture evidence below 📸
More members of our team will be heading on their jollies soon, including the lovely Melissa - our Social Media Exec - who will be going on her honeymoon and leaving all that planning a wedding stress behind her, aaaah. 🥰
Moral of the story… Never feel guilty for taking a break from work. Finding the right balance is so so important, and ultimately, when you take time to recharge those batteries, you’ll be raring to go once you return PLUS the quality of your work will be positively impacted 📈🙌🏼
