I am struggling with low energy today so I have decided to take it easy on myself. It is Monday morning and my body just does not want to get moving, or my brain for that matter.

I am coming off a very busy weekend. I woke up early on Saturday morning to run a 5K, then forced myself to clean my house until my 8 month old woke up from his nap and it was obvious that he had at least one infected ear. I took him to an urgent care doctor how confirmed that he did in fact have two infected ears. Then I woke up early Sunday morning to play in a golf tournament to support my nephews’ football league. I got home with just enough time to shower and change before heading out to dinner with my in-laws.

One of the things that I have struggled with in my business over the last few years is feeling like I never seem to get enough accomplished, that I just need to keep going and keep working harder. What I am realizing though, is that there are times when I need to listen to my body and sometimes allow myself to slow down and rest a little.

So my first task for the day is to put my to-do list aside for right now and work on raising my energy level and filling my cup back up.
