Are You Powering Up Birthday FUN?

Do you remember how you used to celebrate your birthday as a kid? You looked forward to it. You counted down the days. You had a party. So why is it that when you become an adult, you start writing it off, as just another day?  

I used to be the same, and then one year, I started working for a company that included one personal holiday in their holiday benefits, so “Naturally,” I made my birthday a “Holiday” that year.

Every year, I take my Birthday off. I gift myself at least one full day to spend it doing whatever I want -  and I think everyone should do the same!

Believe it or not,  I’ve only worked my birthday once, maybe twice since. (I remember the first exception because I had started a new job and an important Client meeting was already scheduled for that Thursday - I took Friday off instead!)

Your Birthday Should be Holiday! YOU ARE WORTH CELEBRATING!

Spend the day relaxing at spa. Spurge on a fancy meal at your favorite restaurant. Soak in the sunshine at the beach. Get yourself a gift. Sleep in. Have a party.
Take Your Birthday Off  & Do What Every You Want!

PCelebrating your birthday should be filled with fun energy! Everyone should take their Birthday off!  I’m so passionate about this that when I used to manage direct reports, I’d gift them their birthday as an extra day off each year.

In fact, I engineered a whole “NATurally Powered Birthday System!” 
​Depending what day your Birthday falls on, positively power it up like this:

Monday or Friday:
Take your Birthday off and gift yourself a 3-day weekend 

Tuesday or Thursday:
Take your Birthday off, and gift yourself a 4-day weekend

Wednesday:
Take the whole week off!  YOU ARE WORTH IT!!

Saturday or Sunday:
Since the only real rule is take your Birthday off, why not extend the weekend to gift yourself 3-days, 4-days or whole week off?!
