How Self-Care and Taking Breaks Boost Well-Being Over Productivity

How are you doing? Like really doing?

I don’t know about you, but I was in need of a break. I’m not one to sit still for very long and that hasn’t always served me well but I’m learning to honor what my body needs and this week, that’s giving myself a break. So this episode will be short and sweet. But there’s stil a message in there for you.

Our world rewards productivity and taking breaks often feels like a luxury if you even allow yourself to take one, but it shouldn’t. If you have ever pushed yourself to the point of exhaustion or tied your worth to your achievements or to-do list, it’s time to take a look at that mindset. Trying to keep that pace will only leave you drained and disconnected from what truly matters. Take it from someone who has learned the hard way!

So when my plan for this episode took a turn, I looked at is as a sign to take a break and I’m encouraging you to do the same.

And Mother’s Day weekend is upon us so what better time to focus on the importance of slowing down, rejuvenating ourselves, and nurturing our relationships not our to-do lists.

Tune in and give yourself the gift of time because you deserve it!

XO,

Laurie
