In this episode of Overgivers Anonymous, we’re going to be talking about why business owners should be taking time off. When you are extremely busy, trying so hard to make sure that you succeed so that people can see that you are successful and you can feel successful. When you are in this mindset, what ends up happening is your brain becomes literally too full for anything. However, when you slow down, when you take the time to be present, whatever that means to you, whatever that looks like to you, your mind actually becomes clear. And what happens is:
- You become really clear about what is actually important
- You become much more creative
- You get ideas
- You’re no longer so busy worried about what’s beyond the clouds, you can actually see what’s in front of you
- It will increase your productivity
- It gives you a hell of a lot more energy
- It actually increases the passion for your business
All of these things come together in one great big package. It is not just about taking time away and taking your work with you. It’s about finding time to be still. It’s about taking time to be yourself, to be with your family, to be with your spouse, to be alone. I encourage you to do this for yourself and don’t just do it once a year or once in a while, but find time on a regular basis to put some of these pieces together for yourself.
