A mountain getaway results in a hunt for wildflowers

In a previous blog post, I mention the equation stress + rest = growth from the book "Peak Performance: Elevate Your Game, Avoid Burnout, and Thrive with the New Science of Success" by Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness. I took the "rest" part to heart this weekend as my husband and I made a trek to the mountains to fish. During one of those times where the fish are not as hungry as you'd like them to be, I took a break and decided to go on a photography hunt for the wildflowers which are still blooming in the mountains. Here is a small sampling of what I found on that specific hunt:

Needless to say after the fishing and a wildflower expedition I feel recharged and ready for the week! I hope all of you are scheduling your own much needed rest time to avoid burnout. If possible, after reading this post schedule some rest time for yourself, even if it's only a 30-minute break after an intense few hours, or a full week of vacation.

See you soon!
