Do you know how to rest? Did anyone ever teach you? I wish! Rest is political. Many of us have been taught to believe that taking time off isn’t possible. And for many of you, it'll be more difficult than others. Sometimes it feels impossible for me. I hope my experience helps you reflect on your relationship with time off.
In this episode I’m giving you permission to stop. I’m sharing my reflections and details from taking January off and my plan to take August off this year.
I answer all your questions;
How will you manage the fear of missed opportunities?
How will you switch off mentally?
Will you delete apps from your phone?
How will you keep work thoughts/stress to just the once week answering emails?
Often December is considered the rest period, why did you extend it?
How will you manage your income by taking a long time off?
How will you prepare for this and what is the knock-on impact?
Are you taking a full-on social media break?What will you spend time off doing?
As always, thank you for listening 👋
