Autumn is a good time to let things die – to pare down our priorities and snuggle in for deep winter work.
As the weather turns chilly, take a few minutes to think about everything you’ve felt obligated to take on this year – and identify a few tasks that are safe to put down.
We are, collectively, doing way, way, way too much, and we’re getting sloppy and burning out.
Everything here – I made this for you. Cause you are important and you deserve safety, health, and support in the work you do.
So take a few minutes and identify a thing or two that you can stop doing for a season. Less obligations about what you must do for others, just accept that you also are an important person we need in the world.
I like you and want you to be okay.
And once you’ve had a nap, skip on over to the new November Family Action Toolkit, and take a gander at the cool things you can chat about with your kids.
Where you’ll find…
