It's OK to take a day off [I did so yesteday!]
Nobody will tell you this directly, but it’s OK to take a day off (the world won’t end if you don’t complete this paper today).
Here is my honest confession that I only was able to admit to myself recently.
I used to put my job above anything else in my life: my health, my family, my purpose.
This only lead to:
- continuous exhaustion
- anxiety and stress
- general unhappiness from life
I’d have hoped this was just me but from what I hear it’s very typical in our jobs.
It doesn’t need to be this way.
You can take time off.
You can prioritise your life.
You can find the balance in your purpose.
When was the last time you took a day off?
