“The real enemy of high performance is not stress…the problem is the absence of disciplined, intermittent recovery.” – Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz

Running on empty. Spent. Exhausted. We all know the feeling of giving all that we’ve got until there is nothing left to give. Whether at work or at home, we need to take time to replenish our reserves after we make great effort in any area. We simply cannot perform at our best if we are running on fumes. Athletes are especially good at appreciating the value of recovery; they are aware that they run the risk of injury if they don’t allow the natural exert/regenerate cycle to occur.

What is your habit – to run on empty OR to fill up?
