One of the healthiest things I did today was take a nap.
Many years ago, I would have pushed through the exhaustion, grabbed another cup of coffee, and kept going.
Slowly I’ve learned that chronic stress and burnout require recovery.
Today’s culture glorifies being busy and constantly multitasking. There is little focus on what our bodies need to keep us from feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
Let’s start prioritizing stress management.
Slow down.
Listen when your body is asking for rest.
Set a timer.
Give yourself permission to nap or take a quiet moment.
What’s one way you’re giving yourself permission to slow down this week?
