This gives us a chance to recharge and a big piece of this is actually maintaining our boundaries.” - Jenn Trepeck [24:35] “Frankly we just live in a world of overstimulation and that over stimulation creates a lot of the exhaustion and our brain is always going because there is constant input.” - Jenn Trepeck [31:40] “Where do you feel like you’re not even feeling things? Like things can be crazy around you and you’re sort of like blinders on, focused, moving forward. That’s a great indication that we could use a little emotional rest.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:There’s not Enough Time in the Day EpisodeMeditation for Stress EpisodeSlow Down...Yeah Right?
