Video Information: “How I find energy to what I love when I’m tired” +plus a personal and house update!
In this video I wanted to chat about expectations related to “being productive” how we shouldn’t shame ourselves for ‘not getting things done’ after a long work day or when we are going through challenging times. I also wanted to share some techniques that have helped me change my lifestyle a bit and pull away from habitual distractions in order to pursue some of my personal hobbies and passions. Maybe these ideas will help, and maybe they wont! We are each trying to figure things out in the midst of stress and burnout. It’s a personal journey, and I hope at least I can encourage you today and give you some peaceful moments.
