What would you do if you gave yourself today off?

Howdy ,

Yesterday was Wednesday - you knew that already.

What you might not know is that Wednesday is the day I typically devote to reading a book.

Yes, every day of the week is devoted to personal learning in different areas. I have learning areas I am committed to developing and I mark each day for a unique area.

I decided to do something different yesterday.

I gave myself the day off from my personal learning activity.

Why?

I needed to learn in the silence of my thoughts.

My drive to the office was done in silence - no audio book playing. My afternoon walk was done in silence. Yes, I take walks after lunch and it's a busy commercial area so there are no parks.

My afternoon was mostly done in silence with my thoughts. On my way back, I spent doing the "Pray as you go" app prayer for the day.

The silence was good for me. It was good for my soul. Listening to my thoughts is a renewing practice.

I am comfortable with being with myself. So, I took a day off to be with myself and my thoughts.

What will you do with yourself if you can give yourself a day off from your bigger personal commitments?

You should keep your commitments to yourself. So, make a commitment to give yourself a day off.

It will do wonders for you.

It will help you win better at work and in life.
