Rest as Revolutionary..

…do you fit your work around your life or your life around your work?

‍

Being my own boss has made me contemplate holidays, time off and the balance between #hustling and #resting - a lot. 💭 For the first time in my adult life I don’t feel the need to #escape my work, by going on holiday. This is huge for me - I’ve always loved travelling, but pre-lockdowns I definitely used it as an escape. In between trips I would exist and look forward to the next one - and I convinced myself I was content. 🛫

‍

Fast forward to today - and I’ve decided not to take a ‘long holiday’ - for many reasons. And I fully realise the #privilege of being able to even have this as a decision. For those not in Europe, it’s quite common to take 4-5 weeks off over the summer, and I absolutely love that!

‍

Instead I’m trying to slow down my days - scheduling less ☎️ , enjoying my balcony contemplation station, watching my seedlings flower, being a 🦎 whenever the ☀️ 's out and preparing for the next season! I admire Shiva Roofeh for many reasons - she definitely has the best out of office messages I've ever seen! 'Rest is revolutionary as fuck'

Are you travelling, resting, working or are you not able to take a break even if you want to? 🌍
