Work Anniversary – Celeste Fitzgerald

REFLECTION OF THE MONTH
This year has been remarkable! Together, we achieved major milestones: successful project launches, strengthened collaborations, and innovative solutions that made a difference. We learned resilience, adaptability, and the power of teamwork. As we step into a new year, let’s build on these lessons and aim even higher.
The birth of Jesus was the promise of the Messiah's coming and the inbreaking of true light amid darkness. Just as a candle gently shines at night, Christ humbly entered the world, yet with the power of the good news of salvation. As you go out and enjoy the lights that illuminate our nights, let us remember that hope remains alive and that darkness can never overpower the glory of Emmanuel.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
The holiday season can be busy, so here are 3 tips to maintain balance with practical examples you can start using right away:
1. Plan Ahead
Avoid last-minute stress by staying organized and intentional.
Examples:
Create a weekly to-do list every Monday to map out priorities.
Block time on your calendar for high-focus tasks to prevent overload.
2. Set Boundaries
Protect your energy and create space for personal well-being.
Examples:
Set a personal rule like “no work after 6 PM” to enjoy evenings and disconnect.
Turn off notifications during personal time or weekends to recharge fully.
3. Practice Mindfulness
Small pauses can help you stay grounded and focused throughout the day. Examples:
Take a 5-minute breathing or stretching break between tasks.
Step outside for a quick walk to reset your mind and boost clarity.
