I often (always) forget how important it is to stop every once in awhile and take a vacation from the craziness of work. Don’t get me wrong, I love my work and creativity is my main quiddity, but taking some time to just stop has been an amazingly rejuvenating experience. I’ve had the computer mostly off this past week. Instead, I’ve played games with my family, read 2 books, walked with friends, ate long luxurious meals and slept. The constant buzzing in my brain has actually subsided and my head feels clearer.
There is something to be said in support of a balanced life. When my kids were little I used to say “a happy mom is a happy family” I think that concept can apply here- happy, rested workers can go on to create magic.
So I’m wishing you all a holiday season full of rest and relaxation. The new year will be here soon enough and we will all be back to our super-productive selves. I’m going to enjoy every last minute of my holiday hibernation, I hope you do too.
