I hope you had a relaxing Christmas. Last week many of us took time off (mostly later in the week) to tune out the noise. We spent time with our families, enjoyed hobbies (and food), and turned off notifications for a few days. It was pretty amazing, and I hope you did the same.

 

There is a time to hustle. There is also a time to rest. Without rest, we live in a world of stress and chaos. As things are thrown at us, we struggle to manage just one more thing. Every new challenge feels less like a challenge and more like a defeat. 

 

So, if you didn’t rest last week, this is your reminder to do so. Starting the first of the year, we will be hitting the ground hard setting and working toward our 2022 goals. You’ll need to be well-rested to be successful though, so spend a few days this week away from the gym. Ignore your email (whoops – except mine I guess), and rest your body and your brain. 

 

Please note – you won’t receive a weekly email with alllllll the great things happening at Next Gen this week. Some of us are working and some are resting – but all of us are giving one another the grace we all deserve to do what our bodies and brains need.
