This summer I was close to burn out. I was stuck, frustrated, and out of ideas.
I felt like I just wanted to crawl into bed and never come out.
I was tired. I needed to rest my body but more importantly I needed to rest my BRAIN!!
So I did.
I took a BIG step back, I put some projects on hold, I hung out with my son, I went hiking, I slept in, and I was lazy in the best way.
When summer ended I was so refreshed and had so many good ideas rolling around about how to move forward.
If you feel overwhelmed or stuck I totally recommend you try it out. Even if it’s just for a few moments each week.
Find a way to unplug your brain?
Here are a few ways that have worked for me:
- Sleep in
- Go get my toes painted
- Watch a funny movie or show
- Take a day trip
- Go for a walk
- Take a long luxurious bath
The list goes on.
What is a way that would work for you to unplug? Really come up with an answer in your mind right now.
Got it?
Ok good.
Here’s the important part: Schedule it. Put it in your calendar and then make it happen! ?
