The world is a bit of a tire fire right now.
Many of us are feeling stressed and we’re feeling tired.
Some of us might be thinking about quitting.
Quitting writing. Quitting an exercise program. Quitting hanging out with family. Quitting day jobs. Or quitting something else.
Quitting is fine. Quitting often creates space for other things to happen. It can be one of the best things we ever do.
But also know that it is okay to take time off, to rest.
We don’t have to quit, if we don’t want to do that. We can put the writing, the exercise program, the family meet ups, the day job, whatever else on hold.
Many companies have leave of absence policies for exactly this reason. (Which means so many people do this, put their jobs on hold, they needed to put a policy in place to deal with it.) Most gyms make it easy to pause memberships.
If you need to take a break or have a rest, do this.
Life is not a race. We’re allowed to take time off.
