The most repeated piece of advice I received coming back from sabbatical was to take it slow.
One of my mentors said, “You are walking into a fast moving stream and you need to let the current just wash over you at times. If you try to keep up you will wear yourself out unnecessarily.”
To take it slow the last couple of weeks, I have kept several sabbatical practices including journaling post-meetings and reflective (short) walks. I am grateful for these words as I felt the ‘current’ pressing on me. Please pray for my continued transition.
