So for me, rest seems boring. You know that feeling when a child gets overstimulated and they start crying, unable to control their emotions? It's like they just need a nap, some rest, to reset.
As you grow older, especially when leading an organization, that overstimulation can be similar. Even if you're not maxed out, that constant go-go-go feeling can become addictive. But eventually, you hit a point where you realize you need to slow down.
For me right now, that means Major and I walked six miles last Sunday. We strolled to the park and back, without phones or music—just us, enjoying the sunshine and each other's company.
If you're watching this and wondering, "What's she talking about, and how do I find this? I don't want to take a nap either," maybe it's time to start experimenting. Find ways to unplug, disconnect, work with your hands, and spend time outdoors.
