On pausing

I write from a hotel room in Chicago. It’s Friday and I want to produce a post. I knew about this trip this whole week and I tried to write in advance, but nothing came.

I know this is because I am in the midst of intense project planning and the resulting meetings leave my brain feeling so…squishy.

The Erin even of a few years ago would have fought against this - pushed through the block, even to the detriment of my mind and body.

Learning to pause, to rest, to listen to what your body is telling you is so vital to longevity and success.

You’re seeing this now in the health space with training load algorithms.

So here I am, writing about not writing.

And reminding you that - if you have given everything you have on any given day, you can pause, knowing you have done your best.

Be well, beautiful people.
