Play is productive and I can prove it!
In this podcast episode, I talk about how I've recently slowed down and enjoyed life more deliberately. I share my experiences of vacationing in my hometown, reconnecting with family, and treating myself to spa visits and shopping. Throughout the day, I compare the energy I use for work with the energy I spend on activities that bring me joy.
I emphasize the importance of mindfulness and taking breaks to recharge. I encourage listeners to assess how they use their energy, suggesting that true relaxation involves engaging in activities that bring fulfillment, not just resting.
Finally, I advocate for intentional breaks to renew our energy and prepare for future challenges with enthusiasm.
