Holiday

Holiday. There is always a place for refreshing. Productivity is enhanced by some sabbatical sessions deliberately planned periodically. After a season of productivity, there is need for coming apart and taking some rest for a while, as Jesus put it. This part of the year offers such a time. Apart from setting out time with family and friends who may have suffered from the long hours of engagement with work and projects during the work season, our own bodies need also to slow down and recuperate with good food and plenty of rest. Above all, we need time for assessment of the past period and finding out what should have been done better and how. It offers a time of deep reflections and ponderings necessary for the rejuvenation needed for the coming production season. Holidays also offer time for fresh ideas and inspiration and weakened mental muscles can breath an air of freshness again for them to bubble in excitement for better output. Holidays must not be a wasted time and so must also be planned adequately and properly to achieve what it was meant for. It isn't a time to be encumbered with activities that offer more stress than necessary. Going out can be stressful in a busy city and so must be well planned. Eating everything available may also result in unnecessary weight gain and other health issues that may hamper the coming season. Relationships can be strengthened if that is part of the goal but if it is taken for granted, holidays may even create more problems. Holidays must not take away the good habits of productivity, it shouldn't develop complacency, it is meant to renew strength and replace lost energy. It is time to seek God for direction for the new season and prepare adequately for a better result. It's not a time to indulge. Some people see a holiday as the time to engage in activities they aren't familiar with, it may be a time to learn new things but not evil things. The atmosphere of freedom and relaxation should not be seen as idle time and it shouldn't be a time to take an appointment from the devil. Outdoor sports can be a good way to spend time with family and friends. Definitely as a Christian, it's a good time for fellowship and worthwhile sharing of scriptures and experiences with friends and family. A visit to those places as orphanages and hospices can make a huge impact on ones life and give a lot of meaning to the season. In all, the essence is rest to get the body and the mind renovated for better productivity. Its not a time to get into trouble and put unnecessary pressure on ones finance that may lead to starting the new season trying to pay up unnecessary bills incured during the holidays on trivialities. Spending must be well monitored with the future in mind. So many people come out badly from the holiday spending. If you have to travel it's good to be on a very good budget. Impuse buying can leave one wondering why. Not everything attractive is worth it. If you have to travel watch out for safety, recklessness is rampant at such times and it's best to spend less time on the road particularly if not on sight seeing tours. Abuse of substance and driving under such influences is common. Even if you are not drunk driving someone else definitely is and so be careful. Definitely the roads have the tendency of being more busy than usual and all sorts of drivers are dangerously trying new things. And now that the children are home it's good to be in charge of what's going on to avoid both physical and psychological accidents. Watch what is trending on the tv, computers and phones. They pick things up so easily and you want to be sure they aren't picking up what things are not within the values and culture of your home. If they are picking up new positive tricks, you don't want to be out of the pucture too. Taking them out is good. Go to safe places and be careful of whatever risks that are out there. Make the holiday one better than the last and resume work ready to take on the world! Compliments of the season and happy holiday. Share this! Visit evansademanuel.blogspot.com
