I really valued getting this in my inbox - I’m also entering a period of intentional retreat. I feel like taking a step back is such a hard decision as there is so much societal emphasis on relentlessly moving forwards, but I really need some time and space in my life to assess what is and isn’t important to me. Thank you for sharing x
Glad to hear this clicked with you! I definitely feel this really strongly as I move into the colder, darker time of the year (I live in Chicago, not sure where you live:). You're right, there is so much pressure to keep pushing through!
Glad to hear you're revisiting and rethinking - we all need that time to time. I've been taking a step back from some of my community organizing work to work more closely with kids lately - I can feel it's not forever, as you say, but I want to come back with intention.
