even register on your radar. Day in and day out becomes a routine, a pattern and a set amount of hours to work between.
What struck me today and I hope this speaks to some of you too is, to remember this:
YOU ARE YOUR OWN BOSS!
Was this the reason you went into business? To be flexible, to be more available for family life, to work less hours than before? To have better balance, to choose your lifestyle?
Why must we then be reminded to take a break from time to time? Time to restore your creative juices, to become more productive, to fill your cup so you can then fill others… to just STOP and look around, breathing in life itself. So, I bunked work today. I watched my feet as the sea water massaged my skin. The cool waters began to heal my day, my day that had begun with feeling drained after a busy week. and give it my all only to crash in the evening and do it all again. Times have changed this year, I will no longer rely on a third coffee to disguise my body yelling at me for some rest.
When a friend messaged me to join her on a walk, there were one thousand reasons I almost didn’t go. My head told me to knuckle down and work, work, work although my heart and body screamed GO woman, go!
Listen.
Listen to yourself, trust yourself and work wisely.
