And when he <em>did</em> have time off, he fell ill—just like clockwork.</p><p>That wasn't a coincidence.</p><p>When we work ourselves to the bone without allowing ourselves proper time to rest and recover, we become more vulnerable to illness.&nbsp;</p><p>Think of your well-being like a battery—if you don't plug it in to charge, eventually it's going to run out of power.</p><p>As a school leader, I'm sure you know this better than anyone. After all, professionals in the field of education are especially prone to burnout.</p><p>But what you may <em>not</em> realize is that recharging your battery is about more than taking a yearly vacation.</p><p>Because if you only give yourself time away once or twice a year, that break ends up being spent in a desperate attempt to recover from burnout…&nbsp;</p><p>…rather than experiencing genuine moments of aliveness and connection with the people you love.</p><p>To move beyond survival mode and make the most of your time off for fun and travel, you need to plan for regular rest and recovery throughout the year.</p><p>That way, you won't be running on a near-empty tank while trying to enjoy all life has to offer.&nbsp;</p><p>In this week's podcast episode, I'm discussing how to plan strategically for rest and travel as a school leader.</p><p>Join me for a conversation about:</p><ul><li>Why it's crucial to strategically plan for rest and travel</li><li>The different kinds of rest you need to feel fully recharged</li><li>How I manage my own recovery and travel throughout the year</li><li>How you can plan for rest and travel in 2024</li></ul><br/><p><strong>Learn more and apply for the Director’s Inner&nbsp;Circle &amp; Owner’s HQ:&nbsp;</strong><a href="http://chanie.me/jointhedic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://Chanie.me/jointhedic</a>&nbsp;&nb
