“When I take a break, even just a brief one, the creative energy flows in. Only then do I have anything of value to share with others. Once I recognized this, I stopped feeling guilty about taking time for myself.” 

― Holly Mosier

 “Don’t think about happiness. If it doesn’t come, there’s no disappointment; if it does come, it’s a surprise.” 

― Bolesław Prus

 “The most important reason for your “no” is that you need your downtime so you won’t behave like a jerk because you’re depleted. And you don’t want to battle an appetite spiked by the stress of overcommitment. But that’s your secret; others don’t need that information. So just smile, say no, thank you, and keep moving.” 

― Holly Mosier
