Day 230

#RecoveryTime
 
Stress and results—the connection that can drive success or lead to burnout.

In small amounts, stress is a powerful motivator. It pushes you to meet deadlines, achieve goals, and perform at your best. Think of the adrenaline rush before a big presentation or the focus you gain when working on a challenging project keeping you engaged and driven. But you can’t live in this heightened state all the time, or you’ll burn out.

You need recovery time, and that means scheduling it into your routine.
When you're constantly under pressure without adequate recovery, your performance and results suffer. Most importantly, you suffer!
​
Find a sweet spot where you recognize when you’re overcommitting and stop, even if it means saying no to some things you’d like to do. You’ll be glad you did when you notice that you feel unexpectedly joyful.
