Feeling stuck? Time For a Pause...
If you’re feeling stuck or a little uncertain about what’s next, perhaps it’s time for a pause to relax and just be. Many times we try to ‘force what’s next’, when in fact we need the time, space, and rest for it to appear.
Just as we are intentional about how we prepare for high stakes or crucial conversations, it’s also extremely important to be intentional about how we rest and refuel our body and soul. Would we like to be alone, with friends, or with family? Would we like to be completely unplugged, work for an hour or two in the morning then play, or work somewhere different that fosters our creativity with some fun sprinkled in?
I took a trip recently to visit my son in Rhode Island and shot this message for you while I was there. It’s so important to set clear intentions for both personal and professional interactions.
I encourage you to reflect on your own levels of intentionality, including your during your times of rest and recharging. What would make the time a 10 and how do you want to feel when it’s over?
Is it time for an intentional break? If you’ve already had one, what do you need in the last quarter, so you can finish the year as strong as possible? For me, it’s getting a four-day totally unplugged weekend planned for my birthday in October.
What about you?,
If you’d like some help to create a sustainable workflow plan for yourself or for your team, let’s connect soon!
To your next level of success and joy,
Sheryl
