“It is crucial we also remember to rest when we’re tired, to meditate, and to reenergize. This is an ongoing battle…” — Kelly Rowland, singer

The funny thing about fall is that it seems to sneak up out of nowhere and then suddenly it’s Halloween and suddenly it’s Thanksgiving and the to-do list for the fall and winter holidays grows long enough to cause an anxiety attack. As the Fall Equinox bears down upon us remember this: Take some time to rest. If you are feeling “off,” tired, or burned out, see about taking a day or two away from the (home) office. The work ain’t going nowhere.

We work hard, so it’s okay to rest hard too.

ZORA fam, what are you doing to reenergize as the season officials shifts? Pumpkin spice candles and bubble bath, anyone?
