Life does not pause just because we need a moment. My kids were home on a rare snow day, Louie was barking, the snowplow was loud, and after trying to record this over and over again, I decided to show up exactly as I am. Because that is the whole point of our Midweek Moments.

Today I am talking about something so many of us go through, especially during the holidays. When you run on high stress for too long, your body holds it together until you finally slow down, and then it crashes. Last year, I pushed myself through months of travel and ended up with pneumonia the moment I stopped. I never want to go into a holiday season like that again and I do not want you to either.

This episode is your reminder to take five minutes to reset before your body forces you to. I share simple ways to check in with yourself, breathe, set an intention, and create a small pause that can keep your mind and body from burning out.

I also created a free five minute reset guide for you at ashleymorena.com. Join my email list and you will get it instantly. My weekly Sunday email will help you start your week feeling grounded and supported.

Thank you for listening and for all the messages you send. Knowing this podcast is making a difference means more to me than you know.

Keep your light burning from ash to dusk. I will see you Sunday.
