  • Who do you do it for?

    Being clear about who you do it for makes the intention evident for everyone involved and affected by your actions.

    Sometimes, we overestimate ourselves, thinking that our bodies could operate like machines — tireless. But just as machines need scheduled maintenance, although less often than we do (which is daily), we need to give in to that time of rest, getting some sleep.
