Recharge

When your mental or physical batteries run low, it’s important to recognise the signs and allow yourself to unwind and recharge.

As the year winds down, it’s the perfect time to reflect and recharge yourself for the exciting journey ahead. This December, we are thrilled to present an advent calendar that brings inspiration right to your screen – featuring our very own IKEA Leaders!

Dive into the personal stories of our leaders as they share their unique experiences with recharging. Learn how they unwind, refocus, and find balance in the midst of our dynamic world. Our leaders will challenge you to step outside your comfort zone and embrace new ways to recharge. Whether it’s through mindfulness, creativity, or physical activity! Find your inspiration one Friday at a time by clicking the dates in the green box.

Time to pause & reflect!


We hope this advent calendar in IKEA Videos encourages you to embrace new practices that nourish your body, mind, and soul. Let’s recharge together and head into the New Year with renewed energy!

It’s not about eliminating challenging tasks but rather knowing how to energise your mind and body – and when to do it – to avoid your batteries running low. 

However, what works for recharging in one situation may not work in another, so finding out different ways to boost your focus, mood and motivation on any given day is essential. With the theme Recharge, you get to learn more about how to wind down, reflect and find your own, unique ways to recharge, both on and off work.
