Description

Many leaders and entrepreneurs feel like they have no time to take a break with their hectic schedules and endless to-do’s. However, when our body forces us to take a break, we reflect on the importance of rest. Denis talks about his experience of being infected with COVID-19 and the process of recovery. This goes to show that sickness must not be the only time to take a rest. Leaders must be proactive in allowing themselves permission to get time out without guilt. Listen in!

In this episode:

• I share my experience in having COVID-19 and the recovery process - it means focusing on the time to rest, relax, recover, and reset.
• I discuss the power of changing our thoughts and how it influences our behavior and communication.
• Recognizing the work that has been done allows for guilt-free celebration. Let yourself sit back and admire the efforts made.

Key Takeaways:

• There is no right or wrong time to take a time out
• Give yourself permission to have time out
• It is not only during times of sickness we should consider taking a rest
• Allow yourself what you want to do and achieve
• Realize the power of language by being mindful of your thoughts
• Do things that serve you and the people around you
