Finding light in the dark

With Christmas fast upon us, it’s important to take the time to look after yourself and avoid burnout by the year’s end.

So after all the challenges and loss this year has delivered, how can we make sure we enjoy the joyful times? 

For those of us in the funeral industry, we give so much to the greater community. Although we may have lost friends and colleagues in this past year, it’s important to do something good and inspiring to us, because we still have to live and enjoy life and look after ourselves.

The fact is, looking forward to the summer break does a world of good for both individual workers and their organisations. To be more resilient and achieve longevity in the industry, enjoying time off with loved ones is a must. 

Unfortunately, many of us find it tricky to be present when we’ve raced to the festive finish line.  So how can we plan to look forward to the fun? 

Just say ‘no’ once between now and Christmas. No, is not a negative word. No, can also mean, Not now, I need more time to make a decision, I’m not in a position to do that now.
Yes, it’s that simple. We give so much throughout the year, often to our own detriment. And as social gatherings begin to pack your weekends, or a commitment to work that could be changed, your family wants more of your time, saying no to just one of these can give you the space to breathe, reset and find light in the dark.

At IFISS we value the work everyone does in this industry and know how important it is to look after yourself so you can continue the job you were meant to do, Funeral care.

So if you need to be guided on how to implement this handy tool. If your staff need a break, our adaptable and agile team can provide experienced personnel to cover the running of your business, staff shortages and an unexpected increase in workload.
