This is a valuable lesson that can be applied to various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and personal hobbies.\r\n\nLast summer I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed during my busy summer and it made me realize the importance of taking a break to prioritize family time this summer.\r\n\nWhat is coming up for you this summer? If you are feeling overwhelmed by some things, here are some good questions.\r\n\n\n Is this essential to do?\r\n\n If you need to do it, is there a past experience you can learn from to help you do it differently this time?\r\n\n  In what ways can I lower my expectations?\r\n\n  Make a choice to make it more manageable AND create an affirmation to help!\r\n\n\nHere is what I am choosing to do \u2013\r\n\n\n  Take a break from social media and podcasting for two months to focus on family time.\r\n\n  Lower expectations for oneself to avoid feeling overwhelmed and stressed.
