If you’re like me, you’ve been going full-throttle for the past couple of months.

Here’s a lesson I took much too long to learn:

If you don’t proactively take intentional breaks on a pretty consistent basis...

Ones that allow you to fully disconnect, rest, relax, and recharge...

You might find yourself getting a break anyway.

A break you’ll enjoy far less than one you’ve planned.

Let me explain:

Your body is just like your car.

If you don’t perform regular maintenance, provide good fuel on a consistent basis, and let it rest on occasion...

It will eventually stop working.

The car will break down, leaving you stranded on the side of the road.

Your body will demand rest by “catching the flu”

Or you’ll just come down with something that requires you come to a full stop.

Years ago I worked for the General Counsel of the National Hockey League.

He took one vacation every year.

Two weeks over the Christmas Holiday in Hawaii.

And, every single year, without exception, he spent the entire vacation sick as a dog.

While his family frolicked on the beach, enjoyed delicious meals, and perfected their tans.

Working 50 solid weeks in a row, at a frenetic, stressful pace, meant his one break was spent getting the rest he just wouldn’t {or felt he couldn’t} take any other time during the year.

I think you’ll agree with me that it’s better to plan in some regular maintenance for yourself.

Much better than waiting for the inevitable moment your body breaks down in order to get from you what it needs.
