  1. This is great stuff Melissa! I needed to hear this, especially the reading part. Too often I only read things related to business and it’s so refreshing to see this article saying to give yourself permission to read one of the books of fiction that Amazon has been emailing me about for the last few years! LOL Some how they still remember the books of fiction I used to to read back in the day. Exercise that’s always needed! ;-D Thanks again for a great read.

  2. This is great! I always feel as though I have seven million things to do and not enough time to do them in. I have realized that by nature I am s busy person. I can relax for a moment but I will find something to get myself busy again.

  3. So important to make time for us and allow ourselves some time out! This weekend our family has had nothing planned and we have just relaxed and rested, which is exactly what we ALL needed. 🙂

  4. Yes!! I love this!! I just wrote about summer and that this is the season of ‘less’ in my weekly newsletter! I do need permission it seems to rest…it is so important but so overlooked these days! I also have a stack of ‘read later’ books that I am becoming more intentional with reading! I try to look ahead in my week and block out an hour or two of rest…usually Sunday afternoons, but sometimes it is whenever I can get it- ha! Thank you for this extra reminder to rest…I needed to read it!

    1. You sound a lot like me Ellen! I want to make those “later” things happen now. I’m actually going to be on Periscope next week talking about some summer reads. We can do this! Let me know how it goes with you!

  5. I am trying to work on the reading aspect this Summer. Sometimes it’s just a decision to get off my smartphone and pick up a book that! I DO have time 🙂 thank you for sharing this!

    1. Tell me about it Melissa! I think for all of us, we just had to decide to make time for doing the things that we really want to to do. As convenient as our smart phones are, they hold a bunch of apps — who am I kidding — those social media apps and they can keep us distracted at times.
