Why do you design your life in such a way that you need holidays to recharge your batteries? I live my life in such a way that the batteries on all levels (mind, soul, body, emotions, ...) are always charged. Of course, a battery sinks, but then it is consciously recharged in everyday life. In short: I live on vacation. I am not retired or won the lottery. I have 4 kids, my own company, ... and I value my life very much. It requires a whole new life model and perspective on life and then it works great with the full batteries. By the way, vacation will be a whole new experience 😁 #life #mindfulness #lifemodels

Sending fireworks into the sky is THE New Year's Eve custom in Germany. What customs do people in other countries celebrate on New Year's Eve? 1) Twelve grapes In Spain, Portugal and Argentina you better be a quick-eater. People eat a grape with every stroke of the bell at midnight - twelve in all. You can always wish for something. But: if you choke on, miscount or get confused, the next year might bring you bad luck. This ritual is so widespread that there are even twelve grapes in a can for sale in supermarkets. 2) Yellow lingerie Yellow looks wonderful on tanned skin. However, women in Central America are less concerned with looks. The much better reason: Anyone who wears yellow panties on New Year's Eve should bring happiness, prosperity and financial blessings to the New Year. 3) Red lingerie In Spain and Italy, people wear red underwear on New Year's Eve - for happiness in love, success and health. But only if the underwear is unworn and thrown away on January 1st. 4) Jump from the chair In Denmark, with the first stroke of the bell at midnight, you jump from a chair into the New Year - it should bring good luck. What else are people doing to welcome the New Year? I’d like to hear from you.

This weekend, one of my dearest friends is celebrating her birthday, and it got me thinking about birthdays in the workplace. How often do we find ourselves surrounded by colleagues who may or may not be aware it's someone's birthday? 🎈 I recently had the opportunity to share my perspective in an interview for Pumble. Acknowledging team members' birthdays is a small but meaningful gesture. Birthdays provide us with a chance to connect. Here are a few reasons why I believe in recognizing a teammate's birthday: 1️⃣ Building Relationships: Recognizing birthdays is a way to foster connections and build stronger relationships within the team. It shows that we care about each other not only as colleagues but as individuals. 2️⃣ Boosting Morale and Engagement: Celebrating birthdays can boost team morale and create a positive atmosphere. 3️⃣ Strengthening Team Bonds: In a world where remote work and digital communication are prevalent, recognizing birthdays can help bridge the gap and strengthen team bonds. So, if you know it's a colleague's birthday, don't let the day pass by unnoticed. A simple "Happy Birthday" can go a long way in making someone feel appreciated and valued. 🎁🎉 So, if you're contemplating wishing a colleague a "Happy Birthday", here are 80+ ideas to get you started: https://bit.ly/3Fwj5UE #EmployeeEngagement #Communications #interview #publicrelations

In today's society, we often get caught up in the whirlwind of #birthday and #anniversary_celebrations. However ,let's reexamine the psychological, social, and intellectual implications of these traditions. For five years, I've been avoiding , and sorting alternatives, despite the deep-rooted nature of these customs." Birthday celebrations often revolve around material possessions, lavish parties, and superficial expressions of affection. These events rarely contribute to personal growth, intellectual development, or meaningful connections. The focus on external validation and fleeting moments of attention fails to provide lasting fulfillment or genuine appreciation. They can have unintended psychological consequences, particularly for children. When kids grow accustomed to extravagant celebrations, they may start equating their self-worth with the grandeur of these events. The absence of such celebrations can lead to feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. Additionally, the constant comparison fosters a culture of materialism. The pressure associated with birthday and anniversary celebrations is undeniable. The person being celebrated often has unrealistic expectations, while those organizing the event feel immense pressure to make it perfect. More often than not, these high expectations lead to disappointment. By focusing on one day, we risk turning love into a mere formality. We should encourage the exchange of gifts and affection more frequently, rather than limiting it to a single day. A genuine person will always think of their loved ones whenever they come across something meaningful, not just on a designated day. Moreover ,The origins of birthday celebrations often stem from ancient rituals and superstitions rather than profound intellectual reasoning. Intellectual thinkers have rarely championed these ideas, highlighting the need for a more thoughtful approach to celebrating. But our problem is , we are just used to follow trends without even thinking where these ideas are coming from. Anniversaries Redefined: Instead of celebrating anniversaries annually, remember the significant day and celebrate it every month or every two months. This approach creates a more relaxed and loving atmosphere, allowing couples to cherish their special moments more often. Celebrate Achievements: For children, consider moving away from traditional birthday parties and focus on celebrating their accomplishments monthly or quarterly. Reward their efforts in sports, academics, or acts of kindness. Make your Own Tradition: Replace the traditional absurd and Ridiculous cake and candles ritual with your own creativity. Choose to celebrate special occasions with wholesome, home-cooked meals and arrange unique parties, functions or events according to the Occasion .It strengthens the meaningful connection to the celebration. Let's challenge societal norms and embrace more mindful ways to express love and support. #SpreadLove #RethinkCelebrations

Monthly Celebrations There is always a great reason to celebrate! - Record month in sales. - New location grand opening. - Birthday celebration for all born in that month. - The launching of a new line or vendor relationship. - Employment Anniversaries – 1-year, 5-year, etc… - Promotion to a new position. As our business days get busier and more complicated, it is so easy to take for granted that we have good people working with us. Usually, the smaller the team, the easier it is to forget to celebrate. Find a reason to celebrate, and involve EVERYONE! A Birthday Celebration Example: - Post a birthday celebration flyer near the timeclock and in the breakroom at least 2 weeks in advance of the event. - Avoid listing names and ages on the flyer. - Be specific with start and end time. 15 minutes is good for small teams, 30 minutes is best if you have 10 employees or more. Staff of 25 or more could use an hour. - Schedule during the workday at a time when traffic is slower. - Get a volunteer or two to listen for phones and help guests if the need arises during the celebration. - Provide cake, ice cream and work-time appropriate drinks. - If a guest comes in and it feels appropriate, offer them some cake and ice cream. - Start the Birthday Celebration by presenting the names of all born in that month. - Handout the lyrics to the song “Happy Birthday” with the names listed… - …Followed by a lively group performance of “Happy Birthday!” o Tip: If the song starts slow and quiet, just restart and say “Let’s try that again, this time, loud and proud!” o It’s always fun when there’s a list of names and everyone is rattling them off. - Let the birthday celebration be the just that. Rolling into task assignments or business speeches takes some of the fun out of it. If you make this a monthly event, you can stock up on bulk supplies of plates, utensils and napkins. When a month has no birthdays, plug in a different thing to celebrate. Just remember to celebrate! #celebrate #celebratingsuccess #celebrations #management #innovation

🎉 As it is my birthday tomorrow, I have taken a what we at Katana Cloud Inventory call "Birthday Day Off" today, to extend the birthday and Mothers day weekend at countryside! While taking the 3 hour drive from South-Estonia back to Tallinn I realised that I haven´t checked my calendar over the weekend and don´t have slightest idea yet wether I will be going to the office or WFH on my birthday tomorrow. I sighed with relief realising that whichever I go with, there is no pressure on me regards my birthday celebration. 🍰 First of all no sweat about the cake and wether there is enough and it suits for all dietary restrictions. 😬 Secondly my people pleasing-self don´t need to second guess if anyone from those gathered to "must-celebrate-Marleens-birthday" feels awkward with me going in for a hug instead of a handshake 🥳 Thirdly no need to feel guilty over not taking time to have birthday small talk with everyone as I plan to catch up on slightly shorter week switching my typical focus Monday this week to a day off and celebrating Katana birthday this Friday. At Katana, we embrace the diversity of how our hybrid team chooses to celebrate their birthdays. For some, the best gift is keeping the day low-key and this is completely ok 👌 Personally, I love traditions and celebrations, but I'm definitely not a fan of the one-size-fits-all approach to office birthdays. Here’s to celebrating in our own unique ways! 🙌 How do you like to celebrate your birthday at work? #WorkCulture #insidekatana #BirthdayReflections

This year, I took a couple of days off work to celebrate my 35th birthday. Some may say that birthdays are just another day, but I see them as an opportunity to: - reflect on the past year, - reevaluate what’s important in life, and - reprioritize what I normally deprioritize in the name of "work" or “career”. We should all practice annual reviews, not just at work, but also on the day of our "creation." #birthdayoffday #celebratelife #workonwellness

As I walked through the front door after a long day at work, a wave of warmth enveloped me as my daughter, Atipaishe, ran towards me, embracing me profoundly. This simple yet profound gesture sparked a reflection on the journey we've traveled together, particularly recalling the time she was born on March 24, 2022. Back then, I had just embarked on a new chapter in my professional life, having recently joined a new company. To my surprise, the team, in a display of remarkable camaraderie, not only showered me with thoughtful gifts but also handed me a generous sum of USD135. This heartwarming welcome occurred within the first four weeks of my tenure. The memory of that thoughtful gesture has lingered in my mind, prompting me to ponder an essential question for businesses: How are you fostering an environment where employees can revel in these significant moments? Do you celebrate birthdays, acknowledge achievements, and actively engage in the lives of your team members? Celebrating milestones, both personal and professional, contributes immensely to creating a positive workplace culture. Recognizing birthdays is more than just an annual tradition; it is an opportunity to make employees feel valued and appreciated. It goes beyond the customary "Happy Birthday" email – it's about demonstrating genuine care and interest in the lives of those who contribute to the success of the organization. Acknowledging professional achievements is equally crucial. Whether it's reaching a sales target, completing a challenging project, or achieving a significant milestone, these victories should be celebrated. Recognition not only boosts morale but also fosters a sense of pride and accomplishment among employees. As we navigate the complexities of the modern workplace, let us not forget the importance of fostering joy and connection among our team members. Companies play a pivotal role in shaping the experiences of their employees, not just professionally but personally. By actively participating in the significant moments of their lives, businesses can create a workplace that is not only productive but also compassionate and fulfilling. So, I ask again, companies, how are you making your employees' lives richer and more enjoyable?
