126. 6 Reflections from Taking a "Mental Health" Week Off Last Minute

Made for More with Amanda Kolbye

Last week, I took an unexpected but much needed "Mental Health Week." I postponed all my client calls, paused internal business projects, and cancelled personal social plans to give myself the space I needed to get back in the driver's seat of my business and life. In this episode, I am sharing my 6 takeaways from this experience so that you can learn from my week off in case you find yourself needing a week to rest, catch-up, and take time away too. In this episode, we cover…

• The reality that we have more control over our business and life than we often think
• Why we need to stop making excuses
• The truth that you are the ONLY one who will fight for you
• The importance of doing what is best for you whether others support you or not
• Different types of rest that we all need
• How your energy and peace are the most valuable things you have

Quotes "It is truly a decision to say, okay, I'm going to be honest with myself and others around me about what I need, instead of pushing through." "When push comes to shove, you're capable of more than you think and there are always more options than you think there are. But the key is, don't make push come to shove." "Your energy and peace are the most precious, valuable things you have."
