We’ve all been there: you know you need to relax and take a step back from work, but it’s so hard to actually put into practice.

It doesn’t have to be this way, and you DESERVE to take time for rest and relaxation. In this episode, we’ll explore why you struggle with relaxing and what you can do about it to finally achieve balance and fulfillment in your days.

i think i find it harder to relax because im constantly in this fear that im not doing enough and i wont achieve my long term goals and idk if im being too hard on myself- i rly do need to get alot done but i feel guilty for taking some time off too.. I have ADHD so the slightest bit of overwhelming emotions take a toll on me and i can't do tasks anymore, any tips guys?
