In the hustle and bustle of managing Gene & Georgetti, Michelle Durpetti Events, and Andiamo Farm, finding moments of peace and recharge is essential. To be my best for my MDE clients, our Gene & Georgetti team and for the Andiamo farm bunch (along with just life in general) knowing when to slow down and take care of me is really important. Picking lavender in Northern Michigan has been the perfect reminder of the importance of downtime. 🌿💜
This week, I’m focusing on three things to stay in the moment and ensure I’m recharging:
1. Enjoying a quiet morning coffee while planning nothing! lol. Just being with the pups and enjoying the summer morning is the goal.
2. Working with the team that cares + trains my horses and I to get back in the saddle. Full confession: I can’t just do “nothing” while I recharge – I am goal-oriented in every aspect of my life and that even includes when I vacation or take time for me. And the best way for me to do that is engaging in travel (which I love) or working with my horses (who are one of the grand loves in my life). 💜
3. Reading a good book to unwind and let my imagination soar is such a luxury! I used to read as a young person constantly but I have noticed as life became more full, my reading list dwindled down to zero. So now when I take time for myself, I try to read a book. It is so satisfying to finish a good book isn’t it? I took that feeling for granted in my 20’s so now I have learned to savor the luxury of ready! ✨
Remember, taking time for yourself is not a luxury, it’s a necessity! What are you doing this week to recharge? 💫✨
