The last time I took a "digital break" because of a holiday, it accidentally lasted six months! 🫣⛳
Last week, we stepped entirely away from the screens to focus 100% on family, fun, and a bit of holiday silliness. It was deeply needed. But I have to admit, finding the momentum to get back to writing and diving back into work after a truly relaxing break is always a challenge. The friction of the return is real.
Digital pauses are so vital for regulating our nervous systems, but pulling yourself out of the slow, present flow of family time and shifting back into a busy creative routine takes a massive amount of conscious energy. 🕊️✨
Sometimes, re-entering work feels a bit like a game of mini-golf: you have to carefully reset your aim, navigate a few unexpected obstacles, and trust that even a slow, gentle tap will eventually get you to the destination.
We have a busy couple of weeks ahead on the home front with big family birthdays to celebrate, so this week is all about a gentle re-entry. No rushing, no pressure - just finding the rhythm again, one step at a time. 🏛️🎂
If you’ve taken a break recently, how do you find the transition back into the routine? Are you raring to go, or are you taking it slow like me?
