Taking breaks

Especially in these crazy times, it is so important to take breaks and be real with ourselves. I struggled last week. I was tired. I didn't do my online yoga classes and I didn't know why I would post anything here if I just wasn't feeling it. So I didn't. And that's ok.

Some things in life we just can't opt out of. I had to parent, I had to wife, I had to work. (although, in reality, I could have easily taken some mental health days off from work duties, and maybe I should have).

Our society doesn't make it all that simple to step away, to give or get space - figuratively of course... literal space is very encouraged these days.

How can we live life to our fullest by taking steps back? I'm starting by endeavouring to give myself permission.

In grief and in complicated times like these, I that that's what we need.
