Hana hasn’t needed a holiday in four years. She credits her mindset | Kimberly Gillan
For many of us, the year is spread into two distinct parts: the “work like a Trojan” months when we burn the candle at both ends and the “well-deserved holiday” weeks when we try to soothe those frayed nerve endings to allow us to do it all again., 39, now believes holidays shouldn’t be the holy grail of self-care.
“I make weekends sacred and don’t answer work emails or calls, and I either take Fridays off or finish each weekday at 3pm or 4pm [to be] fully present in my own life,” she says.“Rather than binge-eating then starving, I see it as ‘snacking’ [on free time] constantly. I don’t need to schedule big vacations because I already feel energised.
“It’s really easy for us to use any blank space for work, so have a plan to use that blank space for nourishment and to feed your energy” And if those renovations or chores keep calling while you’re trying to holiday-at-home, then head out to see what your local neighbourhood can dish up.
