After a really tough frantic couple of weeks I have enjoyed a fantastic day off at a spa today with my mum my sister & my 2 grown up nieces - much laughing, chatting,  catching up, snoozing, being pampered & relaxing.  I feel like I have had a week's holiday!

The team may never want me back at 4N meets again I was so irritatingly chirpy this evening but I feel on top of the world Party

What do you do to quickly recharge your batteries?  What gets you feeling back fighting fit ready to get business done?

What a lovely post! Smiley

Recently (mid July) I just needed a break, it was 11am and I just wasn't feeling it in the office, so I called my other half at work - told her to take a half day and meet me at lunchtime.  

We went and had lunch then went a saw an afternoon movie.  Afterwards we went and got ice creams, it was so silly but the next day I was back on fire in the office smashing the phones closing deals.  

A quick recharge. Needed from time to time.

As you might be aware, I'm out in the sticks of Croatia.
Today, this was my 'office'

recharging motivation in general -

going on a long run evening run is theraputic  - often zone out for most of it!

Then the next morning have my head back in the game :)

That was only for the 1 day. Generally it's so hot you can only work indoors.
That said, I did spend most of today in the orchard.

Setting up a web (and another, unconnected) biz over here is actually quite hard, i'll have you know!

Sorry Lee I just ain't buying it - "today I worked in the orchard" does not sound like a hard life!  Wink

I'm enjoying my summer holidays working pattern this week i am getting up & working from around 8 until 12 while my boy (age 10) zones out with nintendo, tv etc then we go out & do something fun each afternoon, have tea & family time then I go back to my desk in the evening - today we are off to the woods for the afternoon with friends to build camps & have picnics Open Mouthed Smile

Totally agree with Dave on this one guys. The long evening run when the sun is on its way down and it's cooled off...Nothing like it!
