In the last podcast I published, Episode 100, I told you that I would be taking a break. And at the time I said it would be two or three weeks.

Well, that has turned into three months, but I needed it. So this episode, Episode 101 of the HOW TO LIFE podcast is called, It Is Okay To Take A Break. And it is. Sometimes you need it.

What happens if you don't allow yourself that time? Something's going to happen where you will be forced to take a break.

So I want to kind of give you some guidance on how to avoid that, how to get out in front of it, and how to recharge so that you can put your best foot forward in the future.

For me, it was the last three years of taking on too much and pushing a little too hard. It was a good reminder for me and I can now teach you about it.

I'm at a point in my life where I am pretty in tune with my body. I know what works for me. I know what happens if I don't listen to it. 

I want to share with you some signs that it might be time for you to take a break.

I would like to alleviate some of the fears and reasons people give as excuses not to take a break.

We will talk about all the good things that DO happen when you take a break and some ideas to help you maximize your downtime.

 It's not a sign of weakness to take a break. It's actually very smart and it takes strength to do it. And once you start doing it and start recognizing the benefits of it, you will never settle for less again.

Make sure to listen to the entire audio portion on your favorite podcast platform.
