Most of us are very ready for some time to rest and recuperate over the Christmas break. But, rewarding as they are, jobs in charities can be particularly difficult to leave behind when you\u2019re not working. Especially if you\u2019ve been running at 1,000 miles an hour for most of the year, it can be very difficult to just\u2026 stop.\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s really important for your mental wellbeing to take some time out and properly relax, so you can come back truly refreshed in the new year.

In lots of charities, things quieten down in December. While that sounds good, it can sometimes leave you with unrealistic expectations of achieving a huge list of things that you haven\u2019t got round to doing the rest of the year. Be honest with yourself\u2014you\u2019re unlikely to get all of these done. And, if they\u2019ve waited this long, the world isn\u2019t going to end if they don\u2019t get done before Christmas.\r\n\r\nFocus on finishing critical work and projects you already have on the go, rather than starting lots of new ones.

If you really need to, it could be worth doing a few extra hours the week before your leave, to give you this peace of mind.\r\n\r\nBefore you go, make a to-do list for your return. This will send a signal to your brain to help it learn how to switch off from work and make things easier when you get back.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Set boundaries for over the break","content":"<h2><strong>Set boundaries for over the break<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nTurn on your out-of-office replies before you log off.
