How to prepare for your retraining while on vacation?

Whether you orient your career or your current position differently in the coming months, especially after the Covid-19 health crisis, the holidays are an opportunity to take stock to see more clearly and refine your project. Contrary to popular belief, idleness and a change of pace are necessary to project yourself into your future job and start in great shape.

Take a real vacation

When it comes to changing your career, the preparation often takes several months and encourages you to make concessions, especially financially. Taking a real vacation is also an opportunity to let go and allow yourself a break before embarking on change.

If your financial resources, and incidentally the Covid-19 pandemic, prevent you from going far, a stay in a neighboring region or with your family may be enough to change your routine and prepare your project with complete peace of mind.

Relieve your mental load to see more clearly

When you are caught in the whirlwind of preparations for your reconversion, you accumulate a mental load that can cause you to lose the link with what you really want. The holidays are then an opportunity to prepare an action plan to make concrete progress from the start of the school year and finally regain motivation.

The daily change of pace promotes perspective and allows you to rest enough to find inspiration and new ideas. It is also an opportunity to travel locally when you have to change region or country and discover what will be your new environment.

So if you don’t know where to start, take a break to free yourself from the routine and give free rein to your imagination, it’s the best way to prepare your future project.
