Rest is more than sleep

Rest is more than sleep.

Rest is also an intentional abstinence from physical activity.

Many creative ways to administer this.

One of the easiest is to pick two consecutive days (out of seven in a week) to take a break from cardio, strength, core, and stretching

Today is Monday.

An early morning bike ride is on tap.

Rest story

Note to self when an idea struck yesterday. After a couple years at Disney Institute (was there 1999-2014), i realized i never again wanted to pursue a promotion.

We know rest is critical for our physical health.

The same concept is easily, and appropriately, transferred to work.

Covid-19 is causing many to be furloughed.

Unemployed – my former colleagues at Disney – are reaping the benefit of maintaining their healthcare benefits for a year.

The downtime, absent of healthcare coverage worries, will be an incredible once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rethink their trajectory and their career ambitions.

Magic happened when, convinced i had found the perfect level of work, there was no longer a desire to climb the proverbial ladder.

The catalyst?

Noticing that none, in my opinion, of the leaders in any level above me had remarkable joy in their life.

Get sick of it

So is food and rest.

Get sick of waiting, settling, comparing, and mostly, get sick of doing nothing.

Three types of personal innovation:

  • Change to be a family/community leader
  • Change because everyone else in your family/community is
  • Change or you die

Organizational Vibrancy

The biggest obstacle to thriving is the sense of arriving.

Because your life seems good, you think you have arrived, when in reality, you have not. You have only reached a stage.

Your ultimate stage is self-actualization and you have incredible opportunity for vibrancy

Exposure to opportunity can be found everywhere.

Opportunity is organic and prolific.

Access to opportunity cannot be found everywhere.

Access, like opportunity, is also organic, yet paradoxically elusive.

Access only comes to the few brave souls who pick themselves, who grant their own access.

You must create your own access.

Want access to organizational or personal vibrancy?

Decide to do the work.

Therein lies the secret you were searching for.

Do. The. Work.

You’re welcome.
