Casually brainstorming more intentional rest

1988 Disney World Disney Traditions team
1988 (not 1986 as listed) Disney World Disney Traditions team outside Disney University. We work while others play…nights, weekends, holidays. PS. That’s me, back row, far left.

Inspired by Rob’s personal practice to observe the Sabbath, a day of rest, so consistently, that i’m casually brainstorming how to do it.

The approach is familiar: decide what you want to do differently, why you want it to be different, and how you can plan and attack the changes required to begin, maintain and improve.

Today is Sunday, “a day of rest”.

It’s probable that i’ll spend today like every Sunday, which generally includes some work on my business.

What would it take to not do that anymore?

The beauty of a decent night’s rest

Employee engagement speakers
Employee engagement speakers? No. Props to remind me to thank the people who made yesterday’s event (and my success) possible.

My client’s boss Ramon, the CEO of Trabajando.com Chile.

Got nearly 8 hours of sleep last night in the Delta One cabin.

Heavenly.

Restful.

Woke up a few minutes ago.

Pushed the button to convert the bed into a chair.

Easy peasy.

Writing this from 35k feet.

The night before in Santiago, Chile’s W Hotel, got about 5 hours.

Not enough but it was such better quality because i was flat on a bed.

The only reason tomorrow’s speaking gig was accepted

Delta comfort Plus
Not gonna lie, it took about three hours to fall asleep and dozens of positions until exhaustion saved me.

Rest is critical to our health and well-being.

The thesis for Disney business operations is this:

Disney’s success comes from our ability, and discipline, to over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore. We’ve learned to be intentional where others are unintentional.

In order to accept this Keynote Speaking engagement, the only way i’d agree to their lower fee was by over-focusing on sleep.

i wasn’t about to fly 13 hours one-way for the same fee i do Orlando (home) speeches.

But this was the first-time Thinking Heads Speaker Bureau had come to me and i didn’t want to walk away.

So the only reason tomorrow’s speaking gig was accepted came down to the client’s willingness to pay me an elevated travel stipend to cover my Delta One ticket cost.

Travel allowances are additional income to your bottomline – in this case, an additional $7,300 for the Delta One ticket.

Don’t even get me started on core

Excercise, nutrition, and rest.

Most of us know about, and attempt to make a habit of, the first two.

But rest, no.

We use coffee, a busy schedule, and easy (instant) access to entertainment on a screen to completely neglect a decent sleep regiment.

And because of this, i really don’t want to get started on taking care of our core.

But…

But if you want to focus on your core, it may eliminate or reduce the habit of daily medication in your life’s second-half.

Good night Moon

Most of us will struggle with sleep habits during our life.

 

Most of us will struggle with sleep habits during our life.

Our mental attitude, our physical wellness, our spiritual centeredness, our work contribution, and our home organization all contribute to or fight against stress.

Stress, from its many, and often insidious sources, is a leading cause of restlessness.
