Do you feel selfish when you rest or take a break?

Recently I surprised myself when my first thought upon hearing someone else was taking a break, wasn’t what I expected. It made me take a hard look at my beliefs around what it means to work hard or be successful.

I’m sharing why you might have a hard time resting and why our current culture reinforces this belief.

Plus, learn one daily strategy to refresh your mind and body and to get comfortable putting yourself first every once in a while. Because self-care is so much more than bubble baths and pedicures.
