(HEART TO HEART): Alcohol, Productivity Pressure, & Allowing Yourself to Rest

Today's Heart to Heart episode goes deep into something personal to me and I'm excited to share my thoughts. Alcohol has become such a social activity, an escape and so deeply ingrained in our culture, that it's hard to imagine being completely alcohol-free.    I went completely alcohol-free for 4 months this year and it was a really interesting experience. I didn't expect much, because I wasn't drinking that often before…but it was a big enough difference that I really noticed. The fogginess was gone, my sleep was deeper and more refreshing and I just felt better as a whole. I talk about my journey to introducing it again and how I'm feeling now about the whole process.    I'm also going to talk about the pressure to be productive and how I try to manage and preserve my energy in healthy ways. This is something I talk about a lot with my students. The temptation to work constantly and burn yourself out is there. It's important to take a hard look at what productivity really is and how you can accomplish the important things without losing too much energy in the process. Rest is a super powerful part of the equation and we'll cover how I approach it as well.     I'm so glad you tuned in today and as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!   If you listened to and enjoyed this episode of the podcast, take a screenshot, head on over to Instagram and share it on your IG stories and tag me, @meganyelaney   Ready for more with Meg?   The episode with Karolina about going Alcohol-Free: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5C4aOqPjhbKtsemvACW8Ym?si=f655b0b8b67f43bb (AIRED on March 28, 2022)    Insight Timer meditation: https://insig.ht/ElYw8nROurb   Get immediate access to my free class: More Profit$ In Your Pocket, Less Burnout In Your Biz: https://meganyelaney.com/more-profit-less-burnout-class   And join my Free FB Community for an exclusive Summer Series training I'm hosting every Wednesday at 4PM EST: Case Study Breakdowns & Sales Strategies.
