[Letter From Coach] Rest, Recover, Renew
|
Hey Reader, I know from personal experience that even the best of us can find ourselves from time to time feeling overwhelmed, burned out, overthinking, and/or stuck in analysis paralysis. Even after you’ve gained clarity on your vision and goals, these feelings can still creep in, cause you to doubt yourself, or disrupt your flow. So I want to share what you can do to get back on track when you notice these feelings. Rest. Recover. Renew.RestBe still. Temporarily walk away. Do something, like a hobby or activity, that allows you to break away from whatever you are working on. Taking time to rest isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s an essential part of maintaining your strength and creativity. RecoverRevisit your passions and reconnect with what truly motivates you. Take time to reflect on your accomplishments and remind yourself of your progress. Surround yourself with positive influences and support systems that encourage and uplift you. Physical exercise, meditation, and even talking with a trusted friend or mentor can help you regain your energy and focus. RenewWhat I mean by renewing is renewing your mind. A Bible verse that I default to when I catch myself in the act is Romans 12:2, which says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Renewing your mind allows you to see things from a fresh perspective, helps you stay aligned with your purpose, and keeps you resilient in the face of challenges. I’m here to remind you that whether you are in a season of growth or facing obstacles, it’s essential to take care of yourself and stay connected to your vision. It’s also important to remember that you are not alone. Bottom LineNo one is immune to feeling overwhelmed or stuck, but how we respond to these feelings makes all the difference. Taking the time to rest, recover, and renew can help you regain your momentum and clarity. Additionally, being part of a supportive community can provide the encouragement and accountability you need to stay on track. Surround yourself with people who understand your journey and can offer insights and support. Together, we can navigate the highs and lows, and celebrate the victories along the way. Remember, we are stronger together. If it wasn't for my community and my circle of influence I probably would have fallen apart by now. So let’s continue to lift each other up and move forward with purpose and passion. By the way Reader, rest, recovery, and renewing are all productive behaviors. So get out there and have a productively amazing day! 🫡
