Hi Hanna. Found my way here via the Sabbatical Project and can definitely relate. I initially thought I needed big goals or a project as I’ve never been one to be idle, and felt like I needed some way to ‘justify’ stepping away from my career. But instead I have realized what I really needed much more than I ever thought was rest and space for reflection. I’ve also been enjoying reconnecting with the things I loved as a child- writing and being creative just for the enjoyment of it. It’s been eye-opening too seeing how many others are on similar journeys.
Hi Megan, I’m so glad you found your way here! What’s it been like for you to rest? And I’m always curious how others reflect - talking to others, in nature, journaling, etc.? What’s your process?

I do my best reflecting during solo walks around the city. But, I am also getting a daily-ish journaling practice going as well.
