During holidays, I retweeted on a very good idea to give your employees the gift of rest: http://bit.ly/8JxL6Z. If you haven’t received this gift, reward yourself with some rest.

You are working extra hard for your employer during this recessionary period probably out of fear of losing your job. Even when you are physically with your family, your mind is thinking about the gossip of layoffs at work, work related politics or excessive pressure from your boss to meet some unrealistic goal. All this is causing extreme stress to you, your spouse as well as your kids. Your kids must be wondering how to take the place of that laptop that is always glued to your lap or how to replace that blackberry in your hand with a ball.

So go ahead, reward yourself with gift of rest and relax your mind. Here are some ideas to give rest to your mind

- Take a vacation
- Spend time with your kids, friends and family.
- Spare time for your hobby
- Do what you do best, don’t worry about the outcome or things that are beyond your control
- Stop thinking about work all the time.
