As a self-employed person, it’s difficult for me to take time off for a holiday. If I go away somewhere, I might miss a great opportunity!
Now, it’s not like I’m working every hour of the day so I do get rest. I purposefully set a schedule so my work is done at a certain time, left for another day. My husband and I make dates to stay home and relax together, take walks etc. But that work is always lingering – my mind is preoccupied
with my next move. Luckily, I enjoy my careers (most of the time) but the constant presence of various projects doesn’t allow me to
completely shut down. Only then can my brain empty out all its contents and I can finally see where I am. As well, I don’t have a lot of money to spare. Really, these are just excuses to not allow myself to recharge. So a few years ago I decided to try something different.
