What 5 Days Off the Grid Taught Me About Disconnecting to Reconnect

Sometimes, in order to reconnect, we have to disconnect.  For someone like me, who loves being on and available and ready to go 24/7, I struggled with the idea of taking some time to recharge all the way up to getting on the plane. Five days at a spa?! Without my husband or kids?! (Or phone?!) It seemed crazy.  But it was necessary.  I read books. I journaled. I ate good food, slept well, and even tried equine therapy. I also let go – of thinking it’s all on me, my childhood pain, overworking.  And in the process, I learned something invaluable about not just myself, but about how I’m living my life, how I interact with my husband and kids, and how I’m setting myself up for my future:  Giving yourself your own attention is the best gift you can give yourself.  Today I’m talking about the restorative power of taking time for yourself – even (especially!) when it’s the last thing on your list. You deserve the same care you give to others – it’s time to start prioritizing YOU.  WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA: • Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidence (https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence/) • Find me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Theconfidencequeen) • Want to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?
