Humidity Stinks

Sorry I haven't posted in the last few days. I am in Florida and on vacation and have family down here - so you can imagine how busy I have been. The interesting thing is I haven't driven except two times since getting here last Monday. There isn't much driving I need to do while down here so I have been enjoying my "driving" time off. I also started a much needed work vacation last Friday. I don't get back into the coaching chair until Tuesday, July 6th. Yippee!!

Even if you love your job like I do - we all need to take a break from it. We often don't realize the everyday stresses work bring to us until we are lounging in the pool and smiling at how relaxed we are. My shoulders seem to be lower, my heart rate seems to be slower and my head seems more clear.

I take a week off of work every 3 months. It just seems to work well for me to have that mental and emotional break from coaching. As I said earlier - I LOVE my job and wouldn't want to do anything else - except maybe be a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model (like I said - I am on vacation which means I am obviously taking a break from reality).

If you aren't regularly taking a break - be it a week or a day - I encourage you to schedule one soon. There is no better way to give your best at work then by first giving your best to yourself.
