Work Hardish Play Hardish Balanced Entrepreneur

- Entrepreneurship
How we do anything is how we do everything. Therefore, when we work hard, like real hard, we also tend to play equally hard. I've spent the last 12 years thinking this was just how I was created. I'm an "all in or all out" person so I accepted my work and play equally hard as just how I was built. But at 38 years old, starting my seventh business, I'm doing things differently. I'm learning that how we recover makes all the difference in how fast we move forward. This time around I'm balancing how hard I work because I know it'll dictate how hard I recover and that recovery will impact how quickly I can move forward. I've never done things this way because I always thought I had to be the hardest on myself, that if I weren't hard on myself I would lose my edge. In this season, my edge is taking care of myself so that I don't need to lean completely out. It may feel like I'm moving slower on a day-to-day basis but long-term it'll allow me to move faster. What about you? Do you work hard and play equally hard? What would happen if you chose self-love and compassion instead? Would your recoveries be more gentle?
