“I’m calling you from the parking lot of the day spa,” I said to a business contact yesterday morning. “I’ll be unavailable the rest of the day.”
He laughed: “You’re treating yourself well!”
To perform -and to thrive- you have to replenish. You cannot keep going without refueling.
Especially the last weeks of the year can feel like a long stretch, and energy levels are running low. The holidays seem to come just a bit too late.
What do you do to keep going? How do you replenish?
A mindful walk with the dog?
A 30 minute yoga session?
A cup of tea with a friend?
A workout in the gym?
A healthy home cooked meal?
A mindless tv show?
Whatever it is that works for you: are you doing enough of it? And are you encouraging others to do the same?
It is not selfish to take time for yourself. You can only get the most out of yourself when you give yourself some love.
Refueled, you’re ready to take the wheel again. No road side assistance needed.
