Please take care of yourself, because your body will let you know when it’s had enough. This season right now? The cold, flu, and COVID are no joke. I was out of work all last week, not with the flu or COVID, but an upper respiratory infection. When they told me that, I thought, okay, I’ll just work on my business while I’m home.
That was not the case.
My body said, rest. And I had to listen.
What I will say is this: resting doesn’t mean giving up. I haven’t slept on my ideas. The vision didn’t disappear. The plans didn’t vanish. I just had to pause long enough to get my strength back. Now I’m easing back in, doing one thing at a time, with more grace and way less pressure.
If you’re feeling run down, congested, tired, or just off, don’t push through it trying to prove something. Protect your health. The business will wait. Your body needs you well.
Just a reminder that hustle also looks like resting, healing, and coming back stronger.
