Hey guys, welcome to my podcast.

I hope you're well.

I'm just happy, like I'm actually really happy today.

I actually took the weekend off, which was quite nice.

And I know when you're a little bit more of like a,

I say high achiever, or you've got your goals,

or you're working towards something,

you think that taking time away from the thing you're

trying to work towards will take you back instead of propel you forward, but I actually think

that's the opposite now. Recharging and having time away from what you're trying to work on

I know we think as a society that if we're harsher to ourselves and if we put more pressure on ourselves, it'll get us further.

And in some points of your life it does because that's the only way that you know how to do things when pressure is applied and when people are mean to you.

But realistically, that's not how we want to live our lives. So being more positive to

yourself can really help you. And so I did that and I got out of bed and I just switched it

around and I was just like feeling like I could do this day. Anyways, had a lovely gym session.
