As Golden Week approaches, will you be traveling?<\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re on holiday, do you switch off completely or are you still doing some work?<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past, I was constantly overworking. I always had my BlackBerry and laptop with me even when I was in Thailand or the UK with family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, after experiencing burnout more than once and working with multiple coaches, I learned the value of prioritizing my wellbeing and time with my family.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you read this, I\u2019ll be in Thailand on our first overseas family holiday since the pandemic started. So exciting! <\/span>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A part of me wanted to get all of my work done before heading to Haneda Airport. But I have lots of exciting things coming up (a free webinar for women in business on April 29, my 10-year business celebration, and the upgraded VIP program<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and new training and coaching requests from some of my favorite corporate clients),<\/span><\/p>\n

I recognized that I had a choice:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Attempt to do everything and feel under pressure (also not be able to enjoy time with my daughter who\u2019s visiting from the UK)<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Say no to some things and\/or lower my standards<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Have fun doing what I could before I left and then enjoy doing little bits in Thailand<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I chose #3 (with #2 as a backup!).<\/span><\/p>\n

    This works especially well because Keri has her final university exam coming up and wants to study, so I can do a bit of work during those times. Plus the relaxing resort environment is great for my creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n

    So I wanted to leave you with 2 messages as Golden Week approaches:<\/span><\/p>\n

    You always have a choice.
