    How to Take a Sabbatical

    Here’s my quick how-to, with loads of permission to make it your own. * Do you need your own version of this? You might need your own great pause if you are in that space between what was and what is next. This could look like wrapping up a big project, on the verge of total burnout, on the cusp of starting something new, in any space that feels like a transition. You could also just decide you want one without any justification. * When and for how long will you take your pause? I originally wanted a long weekend (untethering), I advocated for something that is measured in months (sabbatical), I am leaning into taking the entire month of August (a great pause). All of this to say, there are no rules you can make this your own. I think the only question is how quickly you can shed your day-to-day responsibilities, and for how long can do it? * Who Will You Be during your great pause? An explorer (think: travel and new experiences), an achiever (think: write a book), a self-discoverer (think: recover from burnout or heal from heartbreak). Or maybe it’s a category you create on your own. Answer this question: what will you immerse yourself in & who will you be during this time away? * Why Is It So Important for you to do this thing? What is one of your non-negotiables for how you want to live your life? You can tie it back to one of those. How do you want to feel? That could be your why. If and when resistance comes, this will keep you going! * Don’t just dream about it, book it! There is something that happens when we take an idea we’ve been thinking about and start taking action on it! Save the date, block the calendar, communicate your pause: whatever the next step is, do it! Get full access to Steph DeYoung at stephdeyoung.substack.com/subscribe
