Yes, for many of us,
this is our busiest time.
And yes, it is tempting
to work 24/7
without breaks,
without rewards.
But we NEED rewards.
We need,
at the very least,
5 minute breaks.
We need sleep.
Or we’ll break down.
We’ll quit.
We’ll become ill.
Reward yourself today.
This could be a bowl of berries
or
a 5 minute walk outside
or
a nap
or
something else.
Rewards will keep you
going.
Yesterday,
I advised all of us
to take a one minute break
and enjoy the world around us.
I didn’t say this
merely to increase
our happiness levels.
Though that WAS
my main reason
for giving
that advice.
I advised to take a break
because that will help
to keep us healthy
– emotionally and physically.
And very few of us
have the excess time
to be sick right now.
Being sick
is sh*t for business building.
Take a f*cking break.
The holiday season
is a busy time
for almost all business builders.
This might be
our best time for sales.
Partners might be taking
time off
over the holidays.
WE might be taking
some time off.
We have a lot of sh*t to do.
But take a minute.
That’s all that’s needed
– one minute.
And admire a display of holiday lights.
Or savor a bite of holiday baking.
Or watch someone open a gift.
Or hug someone you love.
Give that minute of happiness
to yourself.
And THEN you can
get back to work.
