Over the years, I've found out that a major hindrance to our effectiveness and productivity is the lack of proper rest and "refreshing" periods. On one end, the problem is too much rest, slothfulness, and procrastination: On the other end, the problem is the result of not "sharpening the saw" as best-selling author & international speaker, Stephen Covey, likes to emphasize. It is critically important for us to learn how to place ourselves in a cycle that allows us to "refresh" during our pursuit of greatness and destiny. The worst thing that could happen is for your body to shut down because it was not properly cared for. When was the last time you "really" took a vacation or got the "proper" amount of sleep or had a quiet moment alone to think? These are all necessary to be truly effective in life, especially if we plan on being here for the long haul. Even our computers have a "shut down", a "restart", and a "refresh" function. How much more should we pattern our lives with that type of cycle to keep us functioning at our best? You really don't know how much stress and excess strain is being caused due to not taking time to refresh. Don't allow your best not to come forth because you simply are not.......refreshed!
