This morning I postponed two planned calls....
I cancelled all my weekend plans and booked a four-day getaway I have been longing for, desperately needing and putting off for weeks.
After the highest pressure week I have had in years - tough conversations, deep thinking, preparation for public visibility, generational pattern breaking and the deepest wound healing - I hit my limit.
As a Capacity Catalyst I am generally well practised at creating and generating capacity for myself.
But this morning my throat was on fire. Every unnecessary word made it burn more. My body speaking in the most uncomfortable way possible - a pain signal.
That's the whisper. Ignore it at your own peril. The whispers that go unheard become the roars of a health crisis.
So I had to get honest with myself.
At -40%. Dried out and burning.
And I made one simple decision - to give myself permission to do the one thing I have been putting off.
The one thing that I know will deeply nourish me, fill my cup, and unlock the very flow that my over-performing, over-responsible hustle state has been blocking.
That's it.
I'm done glorifying the hustle.
Happy Friday guys.
I'm off to Tuin van Eden for a few days of much needed rest.
Tuin van Eden — look it up. Some places exist just to remind you what restoration feels like.
I hope you find your one thing today too.
From my heart to yours,
Jax
