My side hustle is teaching group fitness classes (yoga, Pilates, barre, “senior cardio”—which is a lot like jazzercise or unchoreographed Zumba).

My husband and I took a long weekend to go visit our youngest who has been studying abroad all summer. It was the only chance to see him since March/until December. Other than some random interactions on Substack notes, I didn’t write. No posts. No manuscript.

After my class yesterday, I had four people tell me that I’d come back from vacation with a renewed intensity in my teaching. I hadn’t noticed until they each agreed that I seemed to be rejuvenated.

Maybe your lower “production” rate in July is setting you up for a rejuvenation this August! And you are correct is recognizing that you need to give yourself grace to allow (make) this happen… even if it might mean less income for the period.

I’m excited to see what you bring to Substack in August!
