I get it… 😭
I know this doesn’t even sound like a real problem, so while I understand this may not be relatable to everyone, I know that this is the case for many self-employed people.
And it sounds ridiculous because the reason why I became my own boss in the first place was to have more flexibility and freedom in my schedule
During these last three months where I was in a season of life where I wanted to be fully present for, my top priority was to work very little or not at all
Then July hit. I got married, left for my honeymoon…two weeks in the Azores, two weeks in Iceland, and while the hours in which I was actually only dropped significantly compared to what it’s usually at, I was never *fully* unplugged for more than 2-3 days at a time.
It really felt like I had one eye in, one eye out so transparently, this is really something I am actively trying to work towards being better at
What I learned is that letting go isn’t a switch, it’s a muscle. And it doesn’t get strong just because you finally have “permission” to rest. You have to train it, on purpose, even when your business isn’t 100% ready for you to step away.
If you’re reading this, I really hope you take the time to truly give yourself a break.
Taking breaks is a skill, and is one we can all get better at ♥️
