Tip # 18: Relax, Re-energize, and Renew
Create, innovate, and grow by taking time to relax, re-energize, and renew. Stephen Covey calls it, “sharpening the saw.” Whatever you call it, do it!
Many people who tell me they just don’t have time or that they can’t afford to take a vacation. I think this is a missed opportunity. We all need to unplug from our day-to-day routines and find a new rhythm.
Phyllis Van, Instructional Designer, suggests that if a several-day vacation is not possible, how about a “staycation?”
Stay at a park all day, stay at a library, stay at…you get the picture; break your routine and do something different.
I go to Maine every summer to kayak, swim, hike, explore, read, and just sit and relax. What are you planning to do to re-energize yourself?
Remember, taking time to recharge brings you more energy!
