Relax for the Same (or Better) Result

Pushing “harder” may not be the best strategy for bringing your ideas to life, nor provide the best quality of experience

Today I invite you to consider an experiment with the opposite of what you may be gearing up to do for the week…

First, read or listen to this 3-minute story, Relax for the Same Result, by Derek Sivers, one of my all-time favorite creative entrepreneurs and thinkers.

Then, spend 5–10 minutes reflecting or journaling on the following:

• What resonated with you most from this article?
• Where in your life or work do you feel you are working too hard?
• Where in your life or work are you creating unnecessary stress?
• Where in your life or work could you “relax for the same results?”

Feel free to share any insights or reflections in the comments.
