5 Ways to “Force” Yourself to Slow Down when Needed
In this episode, I talk about self-care and taking time off, sharing my move from Utah to South Carolina almost a year ago. This move has helped my family and personal growth, pushing me to let go of unnecessary responsibilities and focus on my main goals. I stress the importance of setting clear boundaries, prioritizing tasks, and using technology to balance work and relaxation.
While visiting Utah, I blocked out two weeks on my calendar to avoid work calls, giving me more quality time with my family. I reflect on my journey of overcoming overworking and give practical tips for better time management and self-care. I encourage listeners to assess their own needs and make adjustments to improve their well-being.
