Hey guys. With a gentle, warm, smile, that’s all for this intro.

😴 Take a rest day—or five minutes

I’m sniffling, I’m sore, and I’m a little underslept. And I’m also traveling again tonight.

Can you relate to any of that? I’ll bet you’ve got your own complaints and ailments right now. Take a moment to notice any pain, discomfort, or stress—physical or otherwise.

I bet there’s some tension somewhere. We’ve all got it. And sometimes, we just need a beat to restore.

So today, take the next five minutes you would’ve spent reading this newsletter and practice some self-care. A few suggestions:

• go enjoy a cup of coffee/tea with zero distractions

• take a hot bath or cold shower or whatever suits your fancy

• gently stretch or massage any tense areas in your body

• go on a tech-free stroll around your neighborhood

• sit or lie down with your eyes closed and just be with your thoughts, noticing your breathing

• call a loved one just to say you love them

Whatever your rest day—or rest five minutes—looks like, may it bring peace and rejuvenation.

I’ll catch ya next time.

*deep inhale through the nose for a count of six*

*pause for two seconds*

*slow exhale for a count of 10*

*pause for two seconds*

Smile and inhale, thinking of something you’re grateful for. 😊 

Be well!

Keep moving,

Drew
