Stop being stubborn

June 12, 2023, Tuesday morning, 6:37am, pacific standard time, hotel in Palm Desert, California,USA. I am torn. The next three weeks present conflicting interests. First, I should be in Palm Desert training the new director. Second, I should be in Bakersfield since they don’t have a director. And lastly, I should take time off because I am absolutely burned out. After next week there are two interesting scenarios offering respite. A mid-week training in Reno, followed by the July 4th holiday. Both are opportunities (and reasons) not to travel to branches during that time. Of course both mean letting go and trusting things won’t fall apart without me. I need to stop being a stubborn moral masochist and relax, practice self-care and prioritize my own rejuvenation. Otherwise they will permanently be without me anyways.
