When You Retreat, You Renew.
* Guilty, like you should be doing something else?
* Stressed-out and unable to enjoy the time anyway because of the mess that awaits you upon your return?
By retreating in other ways specifically built right into your daily life- things like meditation, daily habits that allow you to be your best, working with a coach (focused time to work on the things that really matter with an experienced guide), yoga, exerci
In this hard charging, never stop world we live in it can seem like if you stop to catch your breath for even a second [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you’ll be run over by the tide of people trying to get ahead of you. Trampled like the crowds in Pamplona during the running of the bulls.
* Panic stricken about what you might be missing or who might be getting ahead of you on the job or in your business?
Do not limit your thinking to only enhanced experiences, great feelings of well-being, and increased happiness, satisfaction, and meaning. These are truly and deeply important. Yet, I can also guarantee you that if you take time to retreat, you will also experience (sometimes seemingly like magic):
Here’s the truth in all this - if you don’t give yourself space, take vacation, and rejuvenate, you will become the goose with the golden egg. The one that is pushed to the max until it can no longer be effective (in the goose’s case, produce the results of golden eggs).
Paradoxically it is the very act of retreating that will help you move forward more powerfully, with more ease, and more successfully. When you take time for yourself outside of the whirling spin cycle we call life in the modern age, you can go deeper, see more clearly, and rejuvenate your body, mind, and soul.
If you do, it’s a common feeling. In 2009 Right Management found that 66% of employees did not take all their vacation and Expedia.com’s survey found that 34% of people don’t take vacation at all. For small business owners and entrepreneurs, the stakes with taking vacation are even higher because the role doesn’t come with any official "vacation time".
* Increased confidence to ask for and receive what you most want.
After all, it’s all about moving forward, right? Getting ahead, getting where you want to go, achieving more, and maybe even having
If you stopped to catch your breath, take a weekend (or longer) away, or simply claimed some solid time just for YOU, do you find yourself feeling:
* Took time on a regular basis to nourish your soul?
What would be possible for you in your life, your career/business, and your relationships if you:
* A sudden boost of wealth and financial opportunities you never even saw or thought was possible before.
* Had a regular practice of sitting in silence and being more present, aware [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and mindful?
* Creating breathing space to actually experience your life as it was unfolding?
You can retreat in many ways. We often think of vacations, retreat weekends, and workshops as the only way to do this. And, they are excellent ways! Most likely, though, these retreats are often scattered throughout the year (if you’re consciously planning them at all).
So, how can you get consistency and momentum?

* Significantly greater creativity - whether to solve business problems or literally create new things (art, music, service offerings, products,
What would experiencing these types of results be worth to you?
Lest you think this is all just fluffy or woo-woo thinking, I will remind you of the widely respected book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey used throughout all kinds of high performing organizations and the step called "sharpen the saw". Sharpening the saw is about preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have - You. It includes a balanced program for self-renewal in four areas of life: physical [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], social/emotional, mental, and spiritual.
