Unstuck Your Life

91. The Value of Taking a Break


Listen Later

There's a time to grind it out and push forward and there's a time to slow down and take a break.  It can be tough to figure out which one you should do.  My recommendation is to try one method, see if it works and go from there.  


For most of my life I've adopted the 'grind it out, push forward' method and it has served me well ... until it didn't.  


Recently I've taken a break from this very podcast because grinding it out and pushing forward when what I really needed was rest and reflection wasn't working for me.  So I took a break.  I pushed paused on a few things so I could reprioritize where my time, attention and effort was going and I gave myself the space I needed to rest and reflect.   This podcast is about what I learned during that time. 


We are conditioned to just put our heads down and make stuff happen and there is definitely a time and place for that mindset.  But have you ever slowed down enough to reevaluate why you're doing that and whether or not it's truly serving you right now?  


Don't know how to do that?  I'm going to help you in this episode because sometimes you need to slow down now to go faster later.

About the host:

Hi, friend! My name is Pamela Hughes and I’m a former talk show host turned life coach. After 20 years in the news business, I walked away from what people thought I should do and I did what I wanted to do … coach people who are stuck like I was and help them find relief, awareness and control within themselves.


This was no easy task and I’m not here telling you it was. I had to take full responsibility for where my life was and then decide where I wanted it to go. It was time to stop complaining about my situation and do something about it. I had to stop looking for others to validate me and start having my own back. This required looking inside myself for the answers instead of looking outside myself.


I told you it wasn’t easy … but I wouldn’t change one thing about my journey because it led me right here to you reading about it, maybe identifying with aspects of it and hopefully being inspired to get UNSTUCK.
