When I need to slow down, my body has always given me a nudge; this is a boon; I hadn't allowed myself to stop.
Permission now granted.
I rest.
I relax.
I say no.
I relax.
I rest.
Come Monday morning, I'll likely have bounced back.
Rest.

About this blog
- When I took a sabbatical from Wall Street to pursue a different dream and help others live theirs, I learned that women in the U.S. may be placated, even pampered, but because we aren't dreaming, we are also desperate and depressed. Drawing on a variety of sources, ranging from academic studies to pop culture, dare to dream encourages us to dream. And then to act on our dreams.

Feel better!
I've been trying to give myself permission more to slow down just because I want to. It's nice.
I hope Monday brings you lots of energy and good health.

Good point - I guess that's the only way I slow down too.
