Do you ever feel like you're constantly plugged in, unable to hit that elusive OFF switch? I do. However on New Year’s Eve, we headed to Andorra for our first family ski trip.

Whilst we were there something remarkable happened and I managed to hit the OFF switch for the first time in years. It might be down to the fact that we had to concentrate on skiing and were having fun without much tech access but It's been a game changer.

It allowed me to relish my downtime and enjoy the joys of being fully present with my family in a new environment.

This rare opportunity to unwind during our family holiday gifted me moments of pure joy and a fresh perspective.

For the first time in a long while, I found myself truly immersed in the present.

Business: Your goals can change and evolve

This year, my goals in business have already evolved. The downtime allowed for reflection, prompting me to look at where I can make changes to innovate to enjoy my time with loved ones even more.

Our ski trip wasn't just about the slopes, it was about forging new friendships, creating unforgettable memories, and exploring a new perspective.

Whilst on this trip we did exactly that and met some great people who are also in business and the resounding voice was that everyone wants to be able to get to an element of relaxation and time with those that matter out of their downtime.

Everyone was looking for ways to find time to do more of what they love with the people that matter.

“Time is what we want most but what we use worst.”

William Penn

Lifestyle: Balancing life and work is an ongoing pursuit

With the rejuvenation from this downtime, I'm committed to incorporating more moments of pure relaxation and family time into my routine.

I also rediscovered my love for photography and ventured into a new realm of "Street Photography." It was really good and I feel an important thing for me to rediscover my creativity.

I wanted to be a photographer when I was much younger and the ability to get behind a camera, switch off, and look at the world differently was fulfilling.

I am now really excited to be taking photos and creating more in 2024. I even got myself a new camera 😉

Mindset: Downtime isn’t about relaxation

Downtime is a catalyst for a renewed mindset. I've already witnessed shifts in my perspectives, which are propelling me toward new opportunities and personal growth.

My goal is to make it easier to let go of the daily hustle and bustle.

This shift in perspective will hopefully pave the way for a transformation in 2024. I'm eager to delve into new goals, and fresh chapters, and nurture my creative side further.

We enter 2024 with that let’s get at it mentality and I can say that I have never had the first week of the year off.

However, the power of switching off to recharge, rediscover, and reshape my thoughts for 2024 is something that I welcome as a new perspective.

I would love to know how your year has started or if there have already been changes in your outlook and perspective for 2024.

Please let me know.
