What do you like to do for fun? In this episode, Tyra invites you to explore the power of ‘Slow Living’. She delves into the mindset of slow living, emphasizing its profound impact on crafting a more meaningful and conscious lifestyle aligned with your values. As she reflects on her own journey, Tyra shares insights on achieving a healthy work-life balance and the joy that hobbies (& Side Quests) can bring into your life, especially during National Hobby Month (January).

This week’s Affirmation is “ I celebrate the uniqueness of my interests and make time for what brings me joy.”

Key Takeaways:

Define Your Work Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal life. Define specific work hours, disconnect after a certain time, and prioritize self-care to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Discover the Joy of Hobbies: Embrace the stress-relieving power of hobbies, especially during National Hobby Month. Whether it's a creative pursuit, physical activity, or a calming pastime, hobbies provide an essential escape and contribute to your overall well-being.
Embrace Side Quests: Infuse your life with unpredictability and excitement through side quests. Tyra's list of 50 side quests serves as inspiration to step outside your comfort zone, try new experiences, and make your life's adventure more vibrant and fulfilling.
