You Should See My Tan!

Ten days in Florida, a new tan (Ok, I’m Blacker), and new energy. Just what the doctor ordered. A critical mistake that too many of us make is not taking breaks. Once you are mentally or emotionally tired and you continue to push yourself, you risk burnout.

Whatever you are working on can come after you work on living. After all, your health is more important than a job or business. And don’t be selfish. Someone loves you and when you mess up, you mess up on them too.

Anyway, back to work. I am excited about the future and a couple of projects I am working on.

Don’t ignore your body. When you are tired or stress, take a break!

Exhausted!

I am exhausted. My schedule and the pressures of radio and leadership can be crushing. I’m feeling it now. So, off to Florida for love, family and to recharge the batteries. See ya soon.

Missing the Point

When we talk about Personal Development, one significant point is very often overlooked. That point is rest! High achievers and mentors frequently preach the importance of hard work when they speak of successful people and what made them so. And while hard work is important, history shows another factor that most hardworking people also practice, but rarely talk about: the importance of rest!

Just in terms of human potential, the human body needs proper rest for it to function at peak levels. Of course eating right, positive thinking and some form of exercise are also important. But today we are talking about rest.

I learned the hard way that without taking care of yourself, you may not be around long enough to enjoy the fruits of labor. Or you may not have love ones to share it with.

Like all things in life, balance is important. We must learn not to lose perspective. Always remember health and love are what’s important.

I am leaving for a vacation in Florida on Tuesday (6/26/07). My writing, my radio show and my other income sourses will be even better when they are managed by a well rested mind.
