Life can be a rat race. Especially for people like us who are doers, movers, and shakers. We have jobs, projects, husbands/wives, kids, dreams, aspirations, and our days can seem like we're constantly going from one place to the next just being pulled in all different directions at once. 

I know for high achievers and go-getters like myself, we DO NOT STOP. Slowing down is for lazy people, not for us- if we slow down or stop, we won't get to our goal. 

I've had to really do some self-reflection in the past and ask myself what the root cause of why I feel I can't take a moment for myself. There were internal reasons that were far deeper than just the urgency to succeed. And I'm willing to bet it's the same for you. 

If you hadn't already guessed, today Tess and I are covering the concept of rest. Why it's so important, how you can actually make time for it, and how taking the time for you can help you to be more present when you give of your time to others.
