Have you ever had one (or more) of those days where you just feel brain dead by 4pm?  Or you get home from work or school or all the activities that fill your day and you just can’t imagine making another meal.  Or cleaning up the kitchen.  Or doing laundry.  You’re ready to binge the latest Netflix hit.  You just don’t want to have to make another decision or even think!

But this is often because we forget the importance of what we hear every flight attendant say: Secure your own oxygen mask first before helping anyone else who may need it. 

We need to learn to give ourselves permission to rest.  Because it’s only in rest that we can refresh, rejuvenate and actually be more effective and more productive.
