Are you running on empty?
You know that feeling of not being sure how you’re still going…
You’re exhausted, overwhelmed and have a perpetual feeling of there never being enough hours in the day!
Maybe you’re afraid that if you stop you’ll never find the strength to get going again?
So you keep going despite no fuel in the tank.
Isn’t it funny how when our mobile phones are running low on battery, we will do almost anything to find a place to charge it up…
But we don’t pay the same attention to our bodies and minds. We know our battery is low but don’t create the space in our life to recharge!
We wait till our battery runs out completely and then we’re forced to rest. But how restorative is that rest when our brains are running through what we should be doing?
I get it. I was brought up with the ethos that I must work hard and it’s a great ethos to have.
But unfortunately, no one ever said it’s as important to make time for rest and play. I had to learn to the very hard way – a 6 month burnout!
As with anything in life it’s all about the balance. So now I make sure work, rest and play all get equal time in my life.
Taking the time to charge my battery means I get to live a fully charged life!
