Sometimes your genius needs a break. 

And you shouldn't feel bad about it.

In fact, you'll likely move further ahead, instead of falling behind as you may imagine. Rest helps you work smarter not harder - and I'm with that!

I learned this summer not to beat myself up for needing and taking rest - but to celebrate what happens to my mind, body and relationships when I take a step back and nurture myself in the way that I need.

How often do you take the break that you need to rejuvenate yourself? What's your favorite way to rest?
