When we turn our hobbies into businesses, it can take away the fun or the enjoyment of the hobby. And that's ok if you're ok with that, but find a new hobby to replace what you're turning into a business.

Hobbies build resiliency. It's good for us to not be great at something right away. We can learn lots of new skills through hobbies.

We create our margin, and it's ok to remove things that take up space.

Rest is good; laziness is not. When we try to get back into our routines, it might feel difficult, but we start small to get going again.

We found some things that helped us rest, slow down, and breathe. We can take inventory of the things in our life so that we can remove them if needed, and then add them back later—like we did with this podcast!

Tips on eliminating potential stress stacks:

• be mindful of your season, your stage, and your stress tendencies
• consider implementing a nightly reset (or a reset that maximizes the best time of day for your current season and stage)
• take care of the little things while they are still little
• identify what things are not a big deal until they become a big deal / identify optimal times to take care of these tasks
