As a successful person, there will always be demands on your time from competing interests. As a successful person, your natural inclination will be to try to do more. However, there comes a point when enough is enough and when you must save yourself and say, “no.” If you are overworked, need sleep and are stressed and angry, your efficiency and productivity will diminish. Your health will be affected. All those forced to be around you will suffer. At times, you'll need to leave work alone, forget the e-mail, put away the cell phone and just retreat to where you can find your own way to relax. You need days off and you need vacation time. Whether that's playing golf or sailing or lying on the beach or gardening or doing nothing, do it. Naps aren't only for children and meditation isn't only for monks. Find your calm center where you can recharge your batteries. The work and the problems and the opportunities will all be there tomorrow. |
