It’s hard for our REVStaffing virtual assistants to believe that Christmas is over, and New Year’s Eve is less than a week away! We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: this time of year is stressful for everyone. A simple trip to the grocery store can easily become an hour-long ordeal. Tempers are short, despite what we want to believe about holiday cheer.
Add the work of getting ready for the new year in a less-than-optimal real estate market, and a lot of people find themselves coming up with 101 reasons for not thinking about what they can do to make the new year spectacular.
We’ll do everything we can to help make the transition to 2012 as wonderfully smooth as possible, and we’ll be addressing some ways to do that in upcoming blogs. For now, here are a couple of tips for getting through the next week…
First, work on keeping your perspective. So what if all of the gifts didn’t arrive before the holiday? It’ll be that much MORE fun having something fun to give (or receive) on an average, ordinary day! Maybe (like one of our seasoned virtual assistants, who definitely knew better) you forgot to take that little plastic bag out of the turkey before you roasted it. Like her, you’ll have a funny story to tell for many years about how the assembled guests ended up starting a new Christmas tradition of spaghetti and meatballs!
Then, make a conscious decision to let things go. No one expects you to be perfect; don’t expect it of yourself. Superheroes are for comic books and movies! Wouldn’t you rather be around someone who can laugh at themselves and all of their little foibles, than someone who’s miserable and intentionally taking it out on everyone they encounter? Of course you would!
