It's tough, when you start working you forget about yourself and focus on your ambitions and how far you want to go, you stop giving yourself time to relax and invest more time in reaching that goal, which it isn't bad until you start burning yourself out.
Enjoy a day off a week, give yourself time to breath, for your body to recover, give yourself a reward for all of that work you've been doing in the past months. You've got to remember that not everything is about work and even if your biggest goal has to do with it, taking the last pieces of energy you have left inside you without giving your body and mind time to reset is going to do no good for you.
Do yoga, let your mind focus on your breathing and the way your body feels, dedicate 20-40 min in the day for that, let your body move and stretch, let your mind take a rest after a long day of work.
Take a day off, a Sunday with the family, a Friday afternoon with a good movie, let yourself laugh or cry as much as you want, eat your favourite meal, call or meet you best friend, catch up, be close with them, tell them how much you love them.
Spend a day with your family, see old photos, laugh with memories, enjoy a drink with them, catch up, play something, leave your phone at home, tell them you love them, hug them, remember how they look like, remember their smell, take a picture with them.
Call that friend you've been meaning to call, catch up, listen to what they have to say, plan a date with them, talk about failed relationships, remember how you met them and all the fun things you've gone through, spend hours on the phone with them, met them for lunch, hug them like you haven't seen them in years, connect with them again.
Remember that you only get one life, one chance to do everything you want, do something special, something big, give yourself a chance to be creative, your mind is big and can do more than you think, a day off is not going to kill you and as Billy Joel said "Vienna waits for you".
Mayte.
