The importance of rest days. Never mind that. the importance of vacations.
The average person in Europe takes 4 to 6 weeks of vacation per year. Here in Canada, it's 2 maybe 3, eespecially when you're in the Private Sector. it is important to take time outs for your body, mind and soul. I've often seen people burn out and get ill because they do not respect the signs in the bodies screaming at them to STOP!
I'm often told I don't take enough time out for myself, well right now I am! This is the first 2 week vacation I have taken since Maya was born almost 6 years ago. I took 5 weeks mat leave then, so not really a vacation.
I find what I do at Crossfit and Pilates Pickering rewarding, fun, fulfilling, life changing and most of all FUN! But when running any business, the stress and anxiety if truthfully there. This business is my baby, I have been nurturing it for 7 years now and I am so excited about changing more lives in the Durham region.
So yes, I am taking a vacation and leaving with complete confidence in my 3 leaders, Rob, Marie and Alex. make me proud guys! I will return with renewed energy and zest! I will try to post some pics while I'm gone!
