  • Rest and be thankful. --William Wordsworth
  • Rest is for the dead. --Thomas Carlyle

Aughey







Leaders — Gives Yourselves Permission to Breathe | MWM
Give Yourself Permission To Breathe = One of the most powerful things a leader can do is give themselves permission to breathe. Leaders often carry the weight of responsibility so heavily that they forget to give themselves what they so freely give to others—grace, rest, and room to breathe. When you pause to refuel, you're not quitting, you are preparing yourself to lead stronger. You don't need someone else's approval to rest, you need your own permission to rest.

1 Thing Your Team NEEDS You to Do as Their Leader | MWM
https://youtu.be/qp9OTFn9tY4?list=UULFcY4omYaHiAMk7x4mNcQmpg
Rest isn’t optional, it's essential! = Every single person needs time to rest and recharge. As leaders, rest isn’t optional, it's essential! Without rest, even the most passionate leaders can experience burnout. The best leaders know how to press pause so they can keep going—they know that rest is where creativity, clarity, and resilience are born. 




Are You Resting from Work, or Working from Rest?
https://youtu.be/PZEKXaNVd24
Work From Rest = Rest is important for leadership. Often, we rest from work rather than work from rest. We do our best work when we are working from rest. Resting from work leads to burn out. Working from rest leads to inspiration and a sense of anticipation and encouragement. We first need to identify the thing that restores us and gives us rest. Then we need to schedule that first in our calendar. Prioritize rest today! 

https://youtu.be/dfF7VV1IqSY


Relax and Recharge - Take a deep breath and get comfortable with yourself. Your journey requires a pause - I encourage you to get the rest you need and then get back on track! If it were easy, everyone would do it flawlessly!
