Over the next weeks, Aria experimented with limits. She set specific work hours at the training center and actually kept them rather than staying late every day. She designated one day per week as restoration free, using it for rest and personal activities. She delegated more correspondence management to Liora rather than personally responding to every letter.
It felt uncomfortable at first. Like she was shirking responsibility or letting people down. But gradually she noticed she had more energy during work hours. She made better decisions. She was more patient with students and clearer in her thinking.
Sustainable practice. It was another lesson she needed to learn, and she was finally learning it properly.
