Call me a donkey 'cause I’ll be resting on the 7th day
“but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.”
Exodus 20:10 ESV
But honestly, I take my days off very seriously. Working 3-4 12hr shifts are HEAVY on the body. Sometimes I used to need a full day of doing absolutely nothing just to recover. And in business, it’s a very similar game.
I used to think that the more I do, the more I can get done and the more successful I’ll become, which is FAR from the truth.
Our bodies were never meant to always be in flight or fight mode, but to embrace rest when it comes.
Meeting this standard as a business owner is very challenging for me and I’m sure it can be challenging for you and your lifestyle.
My trick is to schedule it in my calendar that way it has to happen and it’s a non-negotiable. If it’s in my calendar, it’ll prevent me from booking up my time when and where I shouldn’t be.
How do you embrace your rest days?
