Aside from an early morning session and light email, I nearly took today off. Its so important to follow these cycles of high activity with enough rest so that body and mind can replenish their reserves. Self-care is not a luxury unless you can afford to get very sick. My clients and classes deserve my best; this is how I make sure they keep getting it. Theres a culture, especially among entrepreneurs and activists, of showing the busy times (and occasionally the stress/fatigue/illness that comes when the grind doesnt stop) but not showing, or downplaying, the need for rest and healthy limits to balance that hard work. Virtue is not achieved through exhaustion, and neither is sustainable business. Im making a commitment to send a different message. Over the course of this year I would love it if some of you chose to join in and model how crucial rest, reset time/time off, and balance are to long-term success and happiness. #recharge
