If the whirr of your schedule, chit-chat, or thoughts are getting you down today, press pause. Sometimes going through the motions of the daily grind can bring on a bout of loneliness. It doesn’t mean you have to tear apart your calendar or go permanently MIA. Instead, interpret these feelings as signals pinpointing your limits. It’s okay to bail on that exercise class or say no to social obligations. Giving yourself the gift of mental space will encourage your willingness to reemerge.
