95: Throwback—Why You Must Build Rest Into Your Busy Schedule

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today’s topic is one that I’m really looking forward to bringing to you, and it’s one that I really want you to think about: incorporating habits that allow you to have rest and recovery. As ‘doers’, so many of us tend to pile stuff on ourselves, and we freak out a bit at the thought of taking the time to rest, but I guarantee you, it is extremely important not only to your performance, but your immune system, your relationships, your enthusiasm, and your mental health as well.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ll begin by looking at the need for rest and recovery, differentiating between sleep and rest, and the addiction that so many of us have to the busy-ness of our lives. I’ll also review the three main areas in our lives which require rest and recovery, their causes and symptoms, and I’ll share a number of practical strategies to help address exhaustion in these areas. Throughout the episode, I share my own experiences with this topic, and I know that so many of you will see yourselves in the examples provided. Exhaustion is so prevalent in our society these days, it’s time for us to address this head on and take action on the need for rest and recovery – we owe it to ourselves.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This important topic is just one of those which I focus on with my Ascend Mastermind ladies, and as you may know, I have reopened my Ascend Mastermind to a new cohort!
