Today we are talking about something that is really important… the concept of rest. The network marketing industry is full of hustle culture, but ladies, you need to learn the work of REST.
The reality is there is a lot of push to get a team, sales, etc. It is so important to recognize the signs of burnout. Burnout could be you feeling run-down, losing your passion for what you usually love to do, or the thought of having to do anything around your business is full of dread. I want to get you to the point where you don’t get to the burnout, you are able to recognize it before you even get close to burnout. Today we are talking about how the REST is the work, the hustle is not. It's a hard concept because we live in a society where our value comes from how much we produce, how hard we work, our results. So we want those results. Take a minute to think back to when you first signed up and joined your company. Most people sign up for freedom-- financial freedom, calendar freedom, schedule freedom. Hustling is NOT getting that freedom! What if you built a business that was reliant on the REST. Envision this: what does your ideal business look like? What does your schedule look like? How do you see your business? What do you want out of your business? How does your family life, and personal life play a part? What would feel good to you? Start setting those boundaries. It's time for you to take control of your calendar and your business! I just went on vacation and was tempted to work. Why did I think I needed to continue working on vacation? Vacation is important. Rest is important. Rest is part of the work. You need to make sure you are taking some time and release that pressure about being productive. The REST is powerful and necessary in order for you to be productive. What is your creative space? Reflect on that and what you need. The hustle hurts. If you hustle, hustle, hustle, then you will be forced to break and stop and not on your own terms. Put aside some rest. Schedule it in. Do what YOU need.
