I think taking a break is the most underused strategy out there for dealing with pressure. It's so easy to just continue putting our head down and pushing forward which ultimately results in greater frustration, greater pressure and a definite lack of fun. Great to meet you and thanks for commenting!! Jen I love the points you made too! I think taking a break is the most underused strategy out there for dealing with pressure. It’s so easy to just continue putting our head down and pushing forward which ultimately results in greater frustration, greater pressure and a definite lack of fun.

When I really get clear about where my "pressure" is coming from, it's about having/wanting more and the disconnect comes in when I set expectations that are ridiculous. So, I've been practicing the "70% is good enough" mantra for a bit now - it's allowed me to definitely have more fun and flexibility in what I do. Love that you've adjusted your goals and the fun is way more there now. J.
