Leigh Thomas Brown says put your phone in airplane mode during the holidays. The fear of disconnecting comes from not living authentically. Own your boundaries, set an autoresponder, and tell people you're unavailable. Your true self deserves time off.
you have to start with you and give yourself permission to be off. And when I say off, you're going to hate me when I say this, but this thing in airplane mode and turn it off, put it away. You can set a voicemail. You can set an autorespond that says, I'm unavailable today. I'm celebrating Christmas with my family. And by the way, you can say holidays, but I'm saying if you have something that's meaningful to you, freaking own it, y'all. The only reason you're afraid to be who you are is because you haven't been who you are. Is this fear of the unknown? That's the same fear of taking a day off. You're afraid you're going to lose an unknown client because you didn't answer the phone. You're also afraid to tell that same prospect that you have a life and, and it's okay to have a life.
