Disengagement, relaxation, "walking away," being lazy, getting renewed. There are lots of thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the idea of being disengaged. What I have found is that most of these reactions are negative. As a culture we look down on being disengaged. But you know what...we need to be...at least a little bit.
There is an awesome book out there titled The Power of Full Engagement. It literally has changed my life! It basically says that the energy we have to give to a specific task is directly impacted by the amount of time we spend working on it. And actually that we will find ourselves with less energy to give if we are engaged too much AND too little.
We need to walk away every once in a while. As we are walking toward fulfilling our purpose we need to keep this in mind. Life is a series of sprints NOT one marathon.
I offer this as an explanation for my long absence in writing in this blog. I love putting together posts, but over the past handful of weeks I simply needed a break. A time of renewal.
How about you? Do you need to disengage and recharge? Well what are you waiting for, its not going to get any easier...be like Nike and...just do it!!!
