Christelle,

"Taking time to do nothing often brings everything into perspective." — Doe Zantamata

As we continue on our journey of progress, it’s easy to get caught up in the idea that constant action is the only way forward. But what if I told you that taking a break can be just as powerful?

It’s easy to feel guilty when you take time for yourself, but rest is not just a luxury: it’s a form of self-care that helps sustain your energy for the long haul. Just like we need to sleep to recharge, we also need to pause and reflect to stay grounded and focused.

I remember when I was transitioning into my new career. I felt like I had to keep moving fast, always striving for the next step. But I soon realized that taking moments to pause gave me more clarity and energy to move forward when I was ready.

Coaching-Infused Reflection

How about you?

How does this quote resonate with you?

How often do you give yourself permission to rest?

What would happen if you allowed yourself a break without feeling guilty?

How could stepping back for a moment help you gain perspective on where you are and where you’re headed?

This is something I’ve seen in many of my clients as well. For example, Carmen, a senior consultant, was juggling multiple projects, but found that stepping away from her work for a short while allowed her to see new possibilities in her approach to AI. Sometimes, when we step away from the noise, the answers come naturally.

Now, what’s ONE action you WILL take after this reflection?

Could you schedule a break this week, even just 10 minutes, to recharge and refocus?

Don’t underestimate the power of rest: it’s an essential part of your journey!
