Take this as your reminder today to pause and rest.
Burnout and exhaustion are real. However, the roles we play in life do not wait until our anxiety eases or the tiredness wears off.
So it is up to us as individuals to take care of ourselves in the process. I’m a strong believer in work and life balance. Giving time to work, my family and most importantly to myself is key.

Investing in time to enjoy yourself, relax, travel or learn something new must not seem a luxury. I remember for me it began as simple as enjoying my morning cup of tea in silence a few years ago.

An interesting podcast by life coach Mel Robins pointed out the significance of not only taking the time to plan work but also creating the time to plan joy. This is so important because we take time to plan work on auto-pilot mode while we do not know how we can enjoy our time when we are free.

Likewise, I plan my free time and how I choose to spend it. This could be taking time to spend time doing something as a family or reading or watching something I like, a holiday or meeting a friend to share a cup of coffee. This has helped me set the tone for a decent work life balance.

So do give the same significance to plan and create joy as you give your time towards work!
Rooting for you,
