Know those people who are busy all the time? Well, your brain, like your body, needs time to recuperate, re-energize and get stronger. If you don’t get enough rest, you won’t physically or mentally ‘heal’ as much as you could.
Here’s a quick (1 minute) video about it, just after I’d gotten out of bed, and I’m still feeling a little silly 🙂
Why Rest?
After putting a LOT of energy into my Unique Genius work the past six months (mostly on launching the Unique Genius Superhero Program and the “Your Call To Adventure 3-Day Retreat“), I’m dialing it down for three months (November, December, January). I’m avoiding new projects to focus on my current programs and clients.
I don’t have a challenge in taking action – I have more of a challenge to rest enough (especially sleeping, napping, meditating, being positively lazy). And yes, it is a challenge. Without enough rest, I don’t feel as sharp, inspired, energized or creative as I know I can be.
I can get away with a few night or weeks of high-output work, but it always catches up to me. And the longer I wait to recuperate and rest, the longer it takes… hence the “take it easier for three months” goal now.
I actually don’t think this will be easy for me…but I’ll give it my best shot!
It’ll help that I’m going to the awesome Optimum Health Institute next week for a week.

Have Advice For Me? What Are Your Favorite Ways To Rest?
I’d love some suggestions and ideas.
One that really works for me: Yoga Nidra guided meditations from Robin Carnes. I can actually take naps with these…and I have a really tough time napping.
