I wrote this on a flip chart when I was teaching on a Leadership programme last week. A few (out of 30) people in the room looked shocked, sceptical and cynical. Others looked curious. Really?! How do we come to work and rest? We’re all doing too much, addicted to busyness and leaning in to the relentless demand. Can we become more creative about how we seek recovery even while we’re on the go? I know we can and we have to. And I know what a difference it can make to the quality of your energy as you go through your day, when you get home in the evening to the best part of your day with the people you love and when you sleep at night.
Here’s how to come to work and rest:
Every 60-90mins seek recovery for 3-5 mins – do something different from what you were just doing.
Try one or two of these:
Repeat in 60-90mins
Yours in amazing health and energy,
