“Rest and be thankful.” ~ William Wordsworth
Being busy feels productive. When we get things done, there is a sense of pride and accomplishment that drives us right into the next thing. The meeting, the presentation, the social gathering, the doctor’s appointment, the conference session, the carpool, the game – ALL THE THINGS that keep us busy also tire us out. And once in awhile it is vital to shut it all down.
Rest.
Figure out a way to do something this week to flip the OFF switch. Break up with busy for a day. Cancel the low priority tasks. Delegate the others. There will always be more. Perhaps one day of less is a way to realize how grateful we are for the many things that make life worth living.
Make it a strong day!
