Week 66 - A winning formula

“Those who can’t figure out the right balance between stress and rest either get hurt or burn out (too much stress, not enough rest) or become complacent and plateau (not enough stress, too much rest)." (Stulberg and Magness)

​

In their book, Peak Performance, Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness explore an optimal approach to growth and development (Stress + Rest = Growth). A key emphasis in this book is on working towards ensuring that you have the right balance of stress and rest in your life. If you are not paying close attention to both, you will struggle to reach your full potential.

​

Question: How do you find the right balance between stress and rest?

​

Action: Block off some time for the one you need the most this week (i.e. stress or rest).
