The Rewards of Balancing Intensity and Rest

Balance

Really?

Is it possible?

I like to think of it more like seasons that ebb and flow.

It feels more natural and aligned.

I don’t know many things in nature that live in a steady state of balance.

I do know many beings though, who live in an overall peace.

Big spurts of energy, accomplish a goal, then rest.

Repeat.

A blend of intensity, rest and building, then repeating feels more sustainable.

How about for you?

I’ve been in the phase of constant intensity and GO! It is a recipe for >>

Burnout

Exhaustion

Adrenal fatigue

Irritability

Frustration

Try this on for size:

Blitz for a short time

Maintain for a spell

Rest and recharge.

Repeat.

Your time frame may include all of these each day, or it may be on a few day or week cycle.

Do what works for you, your family, your goals and your lifestyle.

Once you blend all aspects, you’ll find progress and sustainability, fun and peace in the long run.
