Take as much time out from the madding crowd as you need. Stepping back is not a luxury right now, it’s essential. You are approaching the end of a demanding cycle, one that has tested your emotional resilience, your boundaries, and your capacity to keep going when things felt unclear or heavy.
This is not the moment to push yourself harder or set ambitious new goals. It’s a time to conserve energy and focus on restoration. You may feel more sensitive than usual, or more aware of how much other people’s needs affect you. Honour that awareness. Your system knows what it needs.
Creating space for solitude, reflection, and quiet enjoyment helps your nervous system reset. Whether that’s time alone, gentle creativity, or simply doing less, it all counts. You don’t have to explain this to anyone.
As this chapter draws to a close, it’s important to acknowledge what you’ve already achieved. You have carried more than your share, and you’ve done so with grace, even when it wasn’t easy. Give yourself credit for that.
Rest now so you’re ready for the next phase when it arrives. You’ve earned your gold star. ⭐
