Make the most of your Christmas

What a year it has been. Lots of worry, change, uncertainty all things we find very difficult to deal with however, there is a small light at the end of that tunnel with new vaccines being given the go ahead, and hopefully getting to see our loved ones over the Christmas period. This should all hopefully build up our spirits and try to enjoy the festivities.

One of the positives from the year is that you hopefully got to complete or are completing a course with us which will put you on the right path to a more fulfilling job or career or simply upskill for your current role. Whatever the reason, you put the effort in so you should be very proud of yourself.

There is always hope in every situation, this pandemic won’t be around forever and although this Christmas will be very different to the ones we are used to and everyone’s situation is different, try to make the most of your break, the people around you and have a proper rest. Make sure to check in on those who may be on their own and keep your social contact even if it only through phone or video calls. This really will help you start the new year with more energy and a more positive outlook.

Focus on what you can do, instead of what you can’t, enjoy the relaxation and laughter over the holidays but above all, keep yourself safe.

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas from all at The Open College and we look forward to catching up with you in the new year.
