In this busy world, how do you break away from the hustle and recharge?

I find that even when I do take breaks, the effect is gone as soon as I hit the grind again. It’s like a nagging desire to just stop and surrender.

Meditation, going for walks, breath work, Pilates, taking a day off from work, blocking my calendar so I can focus, making sure to plan a weekend or at least one day with nothing on the calendar. It’s hard, but life shouldn’t be this grind we make it. I try to find joy whenever I can.

@ChampagneOnIce I just started Pilates at the beginning of this year! It’s truly a wonderful time for the hour I’m there

I need to get to a place financially, where I’m okay with taking the hit to have a day off. I think that would probably be the most helpful for me

@Rumination Pilates is fantastic, and I’m so glad you love it! Yeah, depending on your situation it can be hard to take a day off if you don’t have sick time or PTO.

@ChampagneOnIce I do and really, I have plenty. It’s just been a couple years now of loved ones’ needs consuming it. I’m hoping next year, I can use them for the purpose of rest

@Rumination I can understand that. Life is a hard road sometimes, but I always know it will get better. It ebbs and flows. I hope next year will bring you sunnier skies and moments of the rest you need.
