A coffee shop in Austin showed me the line between hustle and harm

I was working 12 hour days and my hands started shaking so bad I spilled a whole latte on my laptop. The barista saw it and just said 'maybe go home, man.' So now I'm torn between pushing through for the money and actually listening to my body. Anyone else have a moment that forced them to slow down?

My neighbor's kid kept getting sick from school stress. The doctor finally said it was his body just saying no more. Makes you listen.

Forget sick days, we need mental health days.

Spot on, @dianawilson. Makes me wonder if we're teaching kids to ignore their own bodies instead of listening to them.
