Relaxing and Recharging During the Holiday Season
December 15, 2020
During this time of year, holiday joy is in the air! Whether you’re shopping, baking, or working on planning a holiday that looks a little different this year, the holiday season can mean a lot of time doing prep work! This holiday season may not mean a house full of guests or a dozen different parties, but that doesn’t mean recharging isn’t necessary.
Personally, I love to recharge by being active. One way I do this is by taking time to play pickleball with my family. This way, I get to be active, spend time with my husband and son, and recharge while doing it. Recharging can be anything you want it to be, so long as it’s something that gives you back your energy instead of being a drain and another task on your list.
Here are some of my ideas for recharging and regaining your energy!
-
Take a Walk on Your Own
If you’re an introvert (or, like me, an ambivert) and are finding a little too much quality time with others, consider recharging with a solo walk around your neighbourhood or favorite park. This will give you the opportunity to get moving, take in some fresh air, and give your mind a little bit of space.

Watch Your Favorite Movie
When you have just been going too hard for too long, you might feel the need to just turn off your mind for a little while. Watching that movie that you can already quote every line of is a great way to do that! There’s no guilt in taking a break on the couch when you need to recharge your batteries, and a well-loved movie is the perfect solution.

Make Time for What Makes You Happy
There are so many ways to recharge your mind and get back to feeling 100%. However, the very best way to do that is always going to be by thinking about what it is that makes you happy, and then doing that thing. Whether it’s time spent with a book you love, or quality time with the people you love, self-care can look however you want it to. The most important thing is that you come out of your recharge time feeling energized and ready to take on the world again.
