Leader Leisure Part 1

All hardworking leaders need some leisure no and again. The weekend is the time for leisure. This weekend we are focusing on the time you spend with family. The leader needs time to rest, rejuvenate and relax and release yourself from the duties as a leader.

What things can you do this weekend with your family that will help you avoid those leadership decisions? Here are two suggestions. I'll give you two more on tomorrow's blog.

Go out to eat with your spouse or a loved one.
          Find a restaurant that you both enjoy and go spend some quiet time away from the home and the office. Enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant and pick your favorite comfort food that is on the menu. Mine is fish, any meal I eat that includes fish and I'm not talking shrimp is comforting and relaxing for me. What is your comfort food?

If you have kids play a game of their choice. If you don't have kids either play a game with some friends or enjoy an individual game.
           Let the others decide what to play and if it is a game that requires a banker let them be the banker. Just sit back relax and enjoy the quality time with people you enjoy. If it is an individual game that you play find something that relaxes you not one that causes stress.

There are your first two things to try this weekend. Let me know how those work for you. Sunday I will give you two more to try.
