Learning When To Switch Off!

Isn't it funny how life moves so fast and there are times when you are like hang on September is drawing close! How did that happen? It is nearly Autumn and have we even processed that we have been experiencing summer? The thing is life moves fast, we move fast and that fast keeps us in a state of hyper-alert. Have you noticed how many people get ill as soon as they have a holiday? There you are lying around the pool with a hot sun slowly baking you and you hear a sneeze. A summer cold or is that person's body simply saying right now we are relaxing we can rebuild?

The thing is we all want to experience life and everything life has to offer. We are primed to succeed and work very very very hard so we can have all that we want. Yet there has to be a time when one literally stops and switches off. The way I look at this is this 'switching off' is like hitting the re-set button. If you don't switch off or take a break then what will happen to you? Well I spent the morning with a fascinating marketing chap and he talked about how he worked and worked and worked and forgot to have a break for a couple of years and that is when the burnout took him to the ground. He literally could not function on any level.

So with that in mind, and in my opinion, it is worth knowing when it is time to switch off, have a rest and allow yourself to rest and recuperate. It is during these times that we recharge, refuel and are ready for the next challenge. There will always be more challenges... It is a case that you need the energy to be able to enjoy them.
