Here are the top 3 reasons why some leaders WON’T rest.
1. Their to-do list is never done.
2. Their self-worth is tied to productivity. If they stop working, they feel unproductive and therefore unworthy.
3. They're too anxious to stop working.
Healthy habits of Rest and Renewal are a game-changer.
Many people think vacation is the only time for rest, so they over-work themselves and then go crashing with no energy to spare.
That's not rest. That's an emergency.
Don't wait for an emergency to rest.
The most successful (in every sense of the word) leaders have developed habits of Rest & Renewal.
They put the first things first (family, faith, health), and know that the to-do list will never be done.
They don't wait until the to-do list is done to rest.
They have developed a healthy identity that is not tied to their output or their "productivity".
They have learned to be quiet, to turn off the noise, and still have peace without having to "perform."
They understand that with healthy habits of renewal they'll (ironically) haver more energy to put towards work the remainder of the week.
When you learn how to turn off the noise and embrace habits of weekly Rest & Renewal, it will make a huge positive impact on your relationships, on your business, and on your health.
