Hey, Amy here.
I just got back last week from a spontaneous
trip to the Jersey shore to visit my friends and meet up with my brother and his family.
The whole time I was traveling, I had my accountability list looming in the background...
Since
the trip was last minute, I didn't have time to get it all done before I left.
Long story short, by the time I returned, I was feeling completely overwhelmed...
And then it dawned on me that
I've just been feeling overwhelmed in general.
I realized that, because I've been pushing myself extra hard lately to hit some big goals, I haven't been operating from inspiration that way I normally do.
I've been operating out of obligation.
And, I know from experience that when we operate this way, we are no longer communicating at a heart level, and our message will not be received in the same way.
I realized that I needed to slow down and refresh.
So I called my accountability partner and told her I needed a break, and I dropped some of my goals...
I even took some time off from the gym.
I decided that taking care of myself in this season of my life is more important than any of those things.
