Perfect Gifts For Yourself This Year

Don The Idea Guy December 23, 2020

This year has been a challenge to say the least!
They say “everyday is a gift”, but I’d definitely consider returning this gift (or re-gifting it to your worst enemy).

It’s easy to get frustrated and stressed out about the situation (and with other people), but it’s even easier to get down on yourself and pile on blame for things that were likely beyond your control. With what may have felt like the entire universe working against you, the only thing that you could do which might legitimately be considered a failure would be to simply give up and do nothing.

Here are some ideas for gifts you can give yourself to help recover and relaunch after the holidays

A Break
As in “give yourself a break”.
Cut yourself some slack when you’re feeling down, depressed, or need a rest. Sometimes you might need to spend a day in bed to be miserable (but only ONE day!), after that rest you need to get back to work! You have problems to overcome and solutions to find.

Patience
The world faced all sorts of new problems and challenges this year. We encountered problems no one has had to deal with in a very long time (perhaps even never before). Gift yourself a little extra time to thing things through and consider your options — but don’t allow yourself to be paralyzed by indecision. You don’t have to make a decision right now, but you do have to make a decision.

Being Wrong
Giving yourself the gift of being wrong is giving yourself permission to fail. Not every idea is going to be a winner. Some are going to be complete flops. We’re all going through something where no one knows the right answer or what is going to work and what won’t. Why should you be any different?

Do-Overs
This gift is kind of a combo-pack with the gift of Being Wrong above. If you give yourself the gift of Being Wrong, then you basically have to include the gift of unlimited Do-Overs. What’s the point of having the ability to be wrong without the permission to take a mulligan and give it another try using what you learned when you were wrong?

These gifts should be on every person’s wish list this season

They’re not only great gifts to get for yourself, but everyone else you work with (and live with!) could use boxes of these gifts under their Christmas tree too!

The End.

This is the end of my blog posts. It’s been a good run. It has been rewarding for me and I hope you’ve found some information of value buried amongst the poor self-editing and (probably) way too many words used to attempt an explanation of my ideas. I made a commitment to myself at the […]

Job Duties vs. Opportunities

“That’s not my job.” I’ve heard this phrase uttered way too much in the workplace during my career. The sentence is usually being shot off like a gun intended to blast anyone else in the vicinity of the person’s ire. People tend to have a narrow view of what their job duties entail, and they […]

Don’t Lose Your Head

There are people who drive you absolutely bonkers (I feel your pain), and make you lose your cool at work. They don’t “do the work” and expect other people to cover for them, they’re constantly running their mouths all day instead of actually doing their work, they play their music through speakers instead of ear […]
