This is a great article on Bringing the mountains home which addresses employee happiness and developing a beneficial culture that contributes to a business’ success.
*** Written by Travis Gale, CEO of Appletree Catalyst Agency, which discusses how to deal with end-of-year burnout and how to ‘Bringing the mountains home’.
This past festive season, I had the privilege of spending some time in the Drakensberg Mountains. The majestic peaks seem to absorb the fast-paced nature of everyday life.
I am not the only one who is drawn to an escape such as this. The beginning of the year yields a bunch of rested souls, a break in nature seemingly recharging those batteries, fuelling capacity to take on another year.
Before 2020 gets going, perhaps we need to take the time to consider the way we are living. The end of the year finds us burnt out. The beginning of the year finds us fired up. For how long do we repeat this cycle? The past few years it seems most of us are reaching that year-end feeling as early as March!
At some point, we have to ask ourselves if the way we are living is sustainable.
But what is the strategy?
More time in the mountains?
No. That would be simply resigning us to the fact that life is hectic and time in the mountains making it doable. That’s no way to live.
This year, whilst I will look to spend as much time in nature as I can, rather than planning to go to the mountains, I am planning to Bringing the mountains home to me.
Here’s how:
At the end of the day, it’s not about escape. It’s about ongoing intentional living. ‘Bringing the mountains home’ to you regularly and consistently.
Let Bringing the mountains home bring you rest and rejuvenation. Perhaps, if the above is made a habit, you will find that you enjoy the really big chunks of downtime even more.

I once met this old man, whilst traveling. I guess as a tourist, anything goes.
