June is
a time of transitions in the Philippines. It signals the end of summer and the
start of the school year. It’s the month when we declared our independence from
colonial rule. It is the halfway point to a year that was hopefully good and is
just about to get better.
So how
to cope with this high-stress period of mid-year, when everything – from school
starting to mid-year office reviews to higher-volume traffic turns your
comfortable homeground into a battleground?
Start by
taking the year not as halfway done, but halfway there. With this glass
half-full perspective, it’s a great time to create new habits and start
refreshed – after all, there’s six more months to go before we start anew.
Take
time to relax. If you took the first half of the year at breakneck speed,
accumulating leaves and not taking any sick days, then you’ve banked enough
goodwill to take a break.School just starting?Read ahead and be ready. Don’t
stress out just as the year begins. There will be plenty of time to do that
between now and exam time.
Get off
the beaten path. Bored with the same old day-in-, day-out monotony? Get ready
to break out and do small things to spice things up. Change your route going to
work or school, find a new hangout to unwind, even learn a new song for the
monthly videoke session.
Find a
new routine. After breaking all the old rules, it’s time to find a relaxing
routine based on all the new things you have discovered.All of us find comfort
in the tried and tested, especially when the bring back old memories. Just like
the relaunch of Nestea Ready To Drink, bringing with it the classic goodness of
iced tea in a convenient 500ml bottle, but now in exciting flavors of Lemon,
Apple and Lemon Ice.
Now
you’re ready to take the plunge into the rest of the year, and here’s hoping you
have enough exciting memories to bottle up and take with you anytime, anywhere,
just like Nestea RTD, plunge anywhere.
