• Choosing Rest

    Happy September! My first column of fall is all about rest. I realized the other day that I was burned out and needed to slow down for a while. Instead of beating myself up for doing nothing, I decided to see it as choosing rest. You can read the column here.

    Do you struggle with letting yourself take a break?

    Yes, I make myself take breaks because I work so hard to do so much personal wise and business. However,  I am learning to enjoy a movie, music and something to bring me some happiness.

    Choosing rest is honestly one of my biggest struggles. I can never find a healthy balance between what my mind knows I’m capable of doing and wants to do versus what my body is capable of. I’ve definitely become more aware of the signals my body gives me when it needs a rest. But I sometimes struggle honoring that. One thing I try to do during the workday now is actually schedule breaks because it reminds me to rest regardless of how I feel which is equally important.
