I am sure you have heard the saying, ‘You cannot pour from an empty cup.’ This is why it is so important to take care of yourself. Spending time enjoying recreational pursuits allows your mind to rest so it can re-focus on your goals once more.

Recreation

“People who cannot find time for recreation are obliged sooner or later to find time for illness.”- John Wanamaker

Believe it or not, recreation plays a very important role in your success. Taking the time to have a laugh, smell a rose or even let your hair down may be just what you need to keep motivated. And it gives your brain a rest from problem-solving so that it can focus sharply when needed.

If you push yourself too hard and do not take some time to enjoy life, you will burn out quite easily. Take some time to enjoy recreational pursuits with the ones you love. You will be pleasantly surprised to see how these simple ways to practice better self-care can make a huge difference in your life.

Wanting to do well needs to be balanced out with enjoying relationships in the present. After all, what is the purpose of being successful, if we do nothing but work? Who, then, is enjoying our success?

I hope you head out to the trails and lakes and have some fun with loved ones (weather permitting). Then all of that hard work will be worth it 🙂
