Many are finding it difficult to have a break, to switch off without guilt and to just...stop. The crisis-management mindset that might have been needed for your life last year may now need to be consciously stood-down. The consequence of staying in a permanent state of alert is that we become tired, robotic and less motivated to think about the future and how to maximise the opportunities and freedoms ahead. In this episode we discuss ideas to help you to take a BREAK - to consider the Boundaries, Resourcefulness, Empowerment, Adjustment and Knowledge that enable us to pause before the next gear shift of change. If you found it useful, pass this on to a friend in need and share the secret.
