What happened?

I have been sick for a whole month. But this has never happened to me.

I have given birth twice without an epidural and I take cold showers. Yet this time, I was crying in pain.

What did this difficult time teach you?

Being sick for a month taught me the importance of taking extra care of myself by taking breaks.

But it’s obvious!

Of course taking breaks is the basis of a balanced life, but how many self-employed women and possibly mothers as well don’t have time to take a break?

On a pragmatic level, what does your break look like?

Sincerely my friend my sister, I sometimes force myself to stop my work and lie down while listening to a 20 minute meditation. I come away refreshed.

The lesson

Take care of yourself. Add one break per day to your calendar and honor this moment dedicated to you.
