I don't know about you but I thrive on being busy. More times than
not, if I am not busy doing something, I can quickly and easily find a
way to use up my free time.
Usually it is some silly business venture that I am dipping my toes
into. I always love trying new opportunities whether they pan out or
not. However, over the past five years of running my own martial arts
schools, I have come to the understanding that guarding my down time
is important.
It is more important than ever. Especially now that I have kids.
While you have to pour yourself into your business to succeed, you
also have to realize when you have nothing else to pour out and it is
time to fill back up. It is alright to put things off for a short time
if it gives you the necessary recharge to give it due attention.
Many times, I try to tackle something when I really have no energy
left. I find myself struggling. I find that I cannot get the expert
results I expect simply because I cannot think clearly. Or worse, I am
physically worn out.
I have gone long weeks of working out, training and really wearing my
body out. Coming home feeling sore only to crawl into bed and do
everything over again the next day. That is not healthy. You have to
strike a balance. You have to find a way to get the important things
done while giving both your body and mind the time to clear and heal
up for more battles ahead.
-The time off for rest keep you sharp
-The time off helps your body heal
-The time off relieves stress
-The time off forces you to be effective with your time
