As we celebrate Labor Day and all of the individuals that have working incredibly hard to serve others I also want to celebrate REST Day. ❤️ In a world that glorifies hustle culture, finding the perfect work-rest balance seems like searching for a needle in a haystack. To be honest with you.. I’ve been a workaholic most of my life, for a long time I felt as though if I wasn’t constantly achieving, constantly wearing all of the hats and people pleasing, extending myself in business while also working out every single day and pushing my body with no rest. Then I believed I wasn’t enough… I believed sleep was for the weak, and for the OG’s that have been following me for awhile (2018) you probably remember my fueled by energy drink days drinking up to 5-7 Energy Drinks a day. 🤯 My family joked that I was a distant cousin of the Energizer Bunny and it was all fun and games until it wasn’t. ⚡️ I crashed harder than a falling star and hit peak exhaustion. And when that happen it felt like a spiral of loss of control.. - Important things would slip my brain. - Feelings of being a failure and self-doubt flooded in. - It felt like no matter what I did I wasn’t doing enough, being enough. - I wasn’t as sharp as I used to be. - I felt detached and alone in the world - I felt like I wasn’t truly LIVING or experiencing the life I wanted to create for myself. And each day I got more and more exhausted… Balance isn’t just a buzzword, it is a tool and when we treat rest as an essential part of the equation, we don’t just recover – we THRIVE. Whether that’s a rest and recovery day in the gym, a day of not opening the laptop, a day out of the house for just YOU. We need it, and we deserve it. I’ve learned that when I allow my body to rest that is the moments where my creativity skyrockets, my focus sharpens and my productivity goes through the roof. Take the rest day. You deserve it. ❤️ #burnoutrecovery #burnoutprevention #laborday #restdayfeels #intrusivethoughts
