Ready to Recharge?

So... how have your holidays been going? I've had a number of discussions with clients this morning who have mentioned that they are finally now just starting to unwind for the holidays. For many of us last week was a blur of last minute shopping, winding up business for the year, getting the house in order for visitors or preparing to travel.

My Christmas was wonderful - full of visits with family and friends, and most important to me, watching my son enjoy his first Christmas. His joy, wonder and curiosity was absolutely infectious! It has also caused me to really slow down this week - to enjoy and to recharge - rather than to try to cram to many things into too short a space. And I have to say that it feels amazing and has actually made me more productive during my one day back here in the office. I'm looking forward to several more days off with more time to recharge.

Are you ready to recharge? What commitments have you made for 2006 in terms of recharging your battery? Are you starting to lay the groundwork, and walk the talk? What if you took a few hours off to yourself today - see how that will fill up your stores again.
