We are nearing the 4th of July and many of us are taking vacations, spending time with family, and just taking a little break from everyday stresses. For me, this holiday included a week-long road trip with my kids, my husband, and a couple members of his family. It is wonderful to be away from home. It is a joy not to have to think about all of the little things that I have to do everyday just to keep up. I am a driven person with dreams and goals. Sometimes it is hard for me to really let all of that go and just give myself a break.
There is never a really good time to take a journey to move closer to your dreams, goals, and desires. There is always something that comes up in the middle of it that seems to derail you for at least a couple of days, if not from your journey entirely. I want to encourage you to feel free to take breaks now and then, even if you are in the middle of a journey. There is no rule in journeying that says that you must go for ten weeks straight with no breaks. You can take a break for a little while and then just pick up where you left off. Just make a point before the break to schedule the reinstatement of your journey.
It really is important for us to have breaks. We just aren't built to keep going and going with no real rest. Take breaks between your journeys. Take breaks during your journeys for holidays or special events. Enjoy a short break if you are just feeling overwhelmed. Many times the reason that we don't finish our journeys and achieve our dreams, goals, and desires is that we forget to rest. We must remember to always care for our mental, spiritual, and physical well being. If we don't, we will be incapable of reaching our full potential.
Enjoy the holiday and take a break!
