2711993189_bf059c5f7cI’ve been working nonstop lately. Which is well and good; I’m in furiously-building mode with my business. And obviously love what I do. But all at once this pace has become too much for me. Suddenly drained, I find myself impatient and dissatisfied with myself, like nothing is quite right. Some of it, too, is the heat. Summertime does this too me. Even in the face of abject air conditioning, I get cranky, sweaty, cranky, irritable and also cranky. But the other part is the need to replenish. I tend to forget, when I’m feeling good and am on a roll, that I need to replenish, that I require soothing. My mind needs a day at a spa: a beautiful film or book, perhaps. A long bath? Or maybe just the tried-and-true favorite: lying in the dark listening to Beethoven and just breathing.

What do you do to slow down and become re-inspired?
