“It’s all about finding the calm in the chaos.”

~ Donna Karan

Hey Michelle Cederberg here out for a morning walk with my dog Islay, contemplating rest and recovery. I don’t know about you but I’ve been feeling tired lately. I’m pushing past that languishing I’ve been talking so much about, but I’m also realizing that so many months into this pandemic, I haven’t taken any real holiday and I’ve been tending to push my work hours a little bit longer than I normally would.

If you’re in the same boat as me I would challenge you during the week to be ever present of your work schedule. Make sure you’re taking your breaks, and that you’re ending your work schedule at a reasonable time, particularly if you’re working from home where the lines between work and home might be blurred a little bit right now. And on the weekends, do your best to leave work behind and take some good restorative time with your friends and family. We need it now more than ever. And I will say, particularly because we’re coming to the end of this. The world is going to open up, and we’re going to need energy, focus, and a renewed passion perhaps, for the work that we’re doing. So as you’re heading through the rest of this week, pay attention to your rest and recovery. Listen to your body. It knows what it needs.

And don’t forget to sign up for my 6 Day Work-Life Reset if you haven’t already. I’ve mentioned that it’s a good way to push past languishing, but last week I also mentioned that if you’re doing fantastic through all this, the 6 day work life reset is the ideal thing to really help you get super clear about what’s important to you as we push into a post-pandemic world.

Until next time, I’m Michelle Cederberg reminding you we’ve got one chance to do this life. I say Dare to Live It Big and dare to take moments to just pause and relax, and perhaps recover, and watch your dog explore in the wilderness. We got this.
