What a fantastic video from our very own Britt Foster, now Brittany Taylor! (Yes, she’s married now!) Many of you know how much Britt contributed to our forums, and this video is no exception.
Like Britt, I’ve learned that date nights don’t have to be big productions. I’ve written before about how to make them less physically demanding while still prioritizing quality time together. Britt also shares a great tip she’s learned over the years: sometimes, you need to take an extra day to rest and recharge before doing something you’re looking forward to.
For me, the hardest part has always been the guilt of telling friends and family I have to cancel our plans. But, as I’ve learned, prioritizing my health has to come first.
Check it out and let’s talk about this more!
