It’s almost hard for me to believe that I prescheduled this email. I am currently on vacation, in Greece, while my computer is powered down, five thousand miles away.
When you are your own boss and you set your own intentions… you can also choose to not follow through. That said, this growing We All Feel Community is important to me. If you are opening this letter, you are important, remember that 💕
When is the last time you took a true break? Time away from your routines and to-do’s? Or distance from the irrational societal principles that suggest we always need to be doing something?
For me, a true vacation includes: being more present, exploration and openness, a leisurely pace, and lots of newness — culture, conversations, meals & sites to see.
It also means minimal, if any, time on email or instagram. These are personal preferences that are sometimes hard to maintain and ultimately help me to feel more restored.
And there will be balance, days where I have plans and days where I do not have to set an alarm or have anywhere to be.
You do not have to globe-trot to take a break. Ask yourself, “what do I need?” Is there a small shift that you can make this week, whether it is one hour or a full day, where you prioritize your wellbeing?
xoxo,
Amanda
