Resting is key for me to function. To be a good person, to get things done and to be nice to other people.
Although I have known this for years, I often find myself not resting enough and not taking enough breaks. Right now I am on a social media break. I have some difficult decisions coming up regarding my career and my business and my head was very full with all kinds of information that wasn't helping with making this decision. I became exhausted and paralyzed by the amount of information that was flowing in through newsoutlets and social media.
So to get myself up again, I de-activated my most used social media accounts Facebook and Instagram. Unfortunately, I was just starting a new thread on my wall on Instagram on the first 100 days of starting my own business which I then had to give up and disappoint my "audience".
But it really helped me to get clarity on my decision: I am taking a full-time job again rather than building my business. One month after registering my business. It feels like I am failing the entrepreneur community, like I am not a real entrepreneur. I think those thoughts paralyzed me as well. I felt ashamed for wanting this. But this is about the bigger picture. And it fits into the bigger picture. And that is my only priority.
