It’s the Rest

I don’t mean everybody else. I mean the rest.

As we close in on yet another Olympic Games most elite athletes will not have competed for 3 months at least. Why? Because rest and preparation are essential for elite performance.

Business leaders play a different game, and they need to turn out elite performances every day but it would be a big mistake to think that rest and preparation are not important to their performance levels. The fact that business leaders are competing mentally only serves to increase the need for rest and preparation. It is relatively easy to rest physically, but the mind is always active.

Wouldn’t it be sensible to develop the skills and habits to be able to rest the mind? To turn off the noise? To develop a sense of calm and peace?

You wouldn’t expect a racehorse to compete every weekend and still win. Why would you expect to be able to compete at a high level every day and still win every day? You know better than that.

So the questions for this week are;

• How much mental quiet and rest do I experience?
• How much better do I feel when I have been on holiday and had some mental rest?
• How much more energy and clarity do I have then?
• What would it be like if I could rest and recharge more effectively and frequently?
• How can I do that?
