Take Time to Recharge
To do better work we all need to take time to play also. We need time away from our career and passionate pursuits so we can recharge and regroup. Successful time away can empower you to return and do better work than ever.
I will be taking a week away from work and I need it! I have been feeling burned out from months of live webinars, podcasts, music writing, show planning, and business running. I love my work but I could use a break! And I get one next week!
I encourage you to schedule a vacation break and put it on your calendar. Sometimes the excitement and planning for a fun getaway can do as much for me as the actual trip itself. Knowing that I will be rewarded and will be doing something I enjoy (and resting) can keep me going on difficult days.
We all need time to recharge and rest, and this means something different for each of us. Some can be rejuvenated at a Disney theme park more readily than laying on the beach. Others need a hike in nature more than a night on a dance floor. To each their own!
And in between longer vacations, make sure you take time to rest and play in the midst of your regular life. Take an evening off, or take a day off! Your business will survive without you right on it all the time! Take time to read that book, visit that friend, or play that game of tennis.
I plan to return from my vacation with a new spring in my step and renewed excitement to continue doing the best work I can. I hope you’ll all survive without my social media posts!! See you again soon.
