There’s the saying that “universe has your back”.

It’s frequently told in as uplifting, positive advice. To encourage you to take a scary leap, or maybe a little turtle step.

But I’ve experienced on a whole different level the past two weeks.

Last week it was my husband’s flu followed by EPIC internet issues.

This week it was my round with the flu.

Because… I’ve been hiding, folks.

Hiding from the fact that I don’t like to rest. I don’t like to stop what I’m doing and just chill.

My business coach has told me I need to do this.

My client has also told me so.

My husband isn’t shy about giving me this piece of advice either.

Logically, I know that you need open space in order to rejuvenate and ultimately expand into your next level of greatness.

Heck, I even wrote about it!

But secretly I’ve been dragging my feet about it this year.

Until the good old Universe smacked me upside the head, handed me some health and connectivity issues and said, “You need to rest. You need to pause for a moment.”

And now I’m taking on the lesson full-force and bringing a slow-paced attitude to my day.

As the days this month wind down, I wish for you the same breathing space to enjoy your family and the festivities, to rest from the constant drive of running your dream business, to take a moment and just be.

Happy holidays!
