41. Rest, Recharge, Resume: Understanding the Importance of Breaks

Welcome to another episode of the Creative Calm Podcast, where we dive deep into the importance of balancing productivity with essential breaks. I'm your host, Denise Christensen Rae, a creative wellness coach here to guide you on the path to a more joyful and sustainable life. In today's episode, we are going to explore why taking a break is not just a luxury, but a vital part of maintaining our health and enhancing our productivity. We'll look at some surprising statistics about how many of us are not taking the full vacation time available to us and discuss the cultural hustle mindset that often keeps us from slowing down. I'll also share a personal anecdote from my recent spring break—how I planned to work but ended up giving myself the full break I truly needed. Join us as we learn to write ourselves a "permission slip" for rest, and see just how transformative it can be to step back and replenish. Whether it's taking a hiatus from work or simply pausing your day-to-day duties, this episode is here to reassure you that the world won't fall apart if you take a moment for yourself.

xoxo, Denise
