"The three biggest green flags are growth, kindness, and compassion.

If they are consistently kind, if they care about growing, and if they can see beyond their own perspective, then this is someone worth your time and energy."

It's important to nurture ourselves by actively seeking out moments of happiness, even if they appear as mere glimmers. In the midst of chaos, finding joy is essential for our well-being.

In our busy world, it's not uncommon to 'feel' like we always have to be participating and producing and we forget how important it is to our physical and mental health to rest. You have permission to recharge...it's good for you and will improve productivity when it is time to return to the 'busyness.'
