Rest Stop Mentality 

When planning a long drive, road trippers also think about where to fit in a rest stop along the way. Perhaps it’s short and just long enough to find a washroom or refill a water bottle. Maybe it’s a purposely extended break before returning to the drive. 

It’s this “rest stop mentality” of planning breaks—for comfort, for quality of experience, for sanity of participants—that we can draw on during tough “runs” in our day or week. If you see your calendar has long stretch without a break, what ways can you ensure there is an appropriate rest stop along the journey?

If you struggle with taking moments for yourself, this may be related to more than just a busy calendar. See if life coaching can help you sort your time and priorities to help find needed rest stops along the way.
