We love providing positive, uplifting resources for El Paso mamas and connecting them with one another. But I also know my team and I won’t have the stamina to do all the good and all the fun we want to do if we don’t recharge. That’s why we are unplugging for the remainder of the year.
Hustling is awesome. And I’ve seen it really pay off. But there’s a time to put your nose to the grindstone and a time to . . . take a break.
Rest and recovery are essential for optimal health and well-being. And in the long run, I’m convinced that the rest will result in higher-quality work in the future. So that means more and better local guides, more encouraging and useful blog posts from our contributors, and maybe even some in-person events.
We’re unplugging for the 2023 holiday season, and we hope you are able to do the same.
It’s a little ridiculous to think about a mom actually getting any downtime since there’s always so much to be done with small children around (and big kids too). Obviously, the mom job is not one you can take time off from. Regardless, maybe a quiet evening after everyone’s in bed or a silent early morning cup of coffee is in order. Maybe you can even score a sitter at some point in the next couple of weeks.
At the very least, take some time off of social media. We all know intuitively that while social media can be a source of joy, connection, and encouragement, it can also be draining and addictive. So I, for one, am deleting the apps from my phone for a few days.
Enjoy your kiddos. Enjoy your holiday. Get some rest and some deep breaths. And let’s come out of the gate refreshed and ready to go in 2024! See you then!
