Daily Gratitude: If you’re an overachiever, print this quote out and keep it with you at all times. I know that in the past I ignored the virtues of rest. I would simply keep plowing on. Recently I ended up with a 2-3 week period where I had a migraine every day. At first I tried to ignore them and keep going. But the pain just got worse. Along with the pain of a migraine comes intense fatigue so I was sleeping most of the day. That happened because it was the only thing that would force me to listen to my body and take the time off all my responsibilities and commitments. It worked. I had nothing I could do except sleep so I had to stop. Don’t wait for your body to make you stop. Pay attention now. You know when your body is telling you to slow down. You’re just not listening. It’s much better to listen now rather than when everything falls apart.
