8/28 - 9/2: R&R...it's real!

I was reminded today about how important rest and relaxation is! As much as we all push ourselves to be better, do the right thing, do ALL the things sometimes it pays to stop for a moment and make sure you do something you love.

We can’t be all perfect, in fact we are not supposed to be. Life can overwhelm us and our lives are acted out by rote. If you feel like you’re stuck or something is off I encourage you to stop. Take time to register how you feel, quiet your inner critic to try to understand what is making you feel like this?

Then take a long, deep breath, acknowledge the feeling and let it go as you breathe out. Turn the narrative around and ask yourself what would make you feel good? Is it getting some sun, taking a walk, spending time with your family? Whatever it is go and do it! If you can’t do it straight away, make a plan and keep it.

We all need those moments of joy, no matter how big or small. By taking the time for yourself and it will relax and recharge you. It will also help bring you back into a positive mind set. These moments to reset are invaluable in our busy lives!!
