What if you took a break?

Raise your hand if you've ever felt pressured to keep up with work during time off.

✋

I have been there.

The lingering emails, the never-ending to-do list, and the persistent thought that taking a break creates more work.

So here's a question:

What do you gain by not allowing yourself the time to recharge, reflect, and re-energize?

We live in a world that glorifies non-stop hustle.

But you can’t lead if your battery isn’t charged.

You can redefine what it means to be a leader who values time off.

And you’ll set an example for others to do the same.

Hitting the pause button might be the best gift you can give yourself and others.
