I love chiming in on the blogposts over at Dempsey Marketing. Check them out, http://dempseymarketing.com/journal/. You'll find the site full of great tools, posts, and videos. A bit ago, a few of us chatted about sleep. How much sleep we'd like to have, how much we were getting, how sleep has changed for us over the years, all that and more. Yes, most of us agreed, sleep is a beautiful thing.
As I was breezing through the latest edition of Upsize Minnesota magazine, and enjoying the story of Lisa Bollin, CEO of Cowgirl Tuff, the Upsize business builder of the year, I zeroed in on the sleeve of her Cowgirl Tuff jacket where it says, "Never Give Up." One of the sentiments that Lisa shares is, "If you're going to do it, do it the best you possibly can or don't do it all." That thought collided with the ideas about sleep and got me to consider how my "rest" assists my business endeavors, or not.
I'm wondering if a good "test of my rest," is how effective and efficient I am being in giving my best to my business. If the quality and/or quantity of my rest is enhanced, would my work efforts also increase?
We hear alot of opinion about allowing our bodies to rest, both how and why to do it. The how for me is going to include shutting the TV completely off for one week. The idea is to disengage from the distraction that TV can offer to redirect my brain elsewhere. I suspect I will either sleep better because the noise has reduced. Or, I'll just get more done because my brain will want to move and the TV won't be in the way.
How about you? What are the distractions that may be getting in the way of your best rest?
