This week is an encore from last year - the secret to finishing strong when you’re tired.This episode was so well received and so relevant I thought I would share it again. It’s a short, practical episode. Stick around until the end, because there’s a homework assignment to prepare you for next week’s year in review episode.  The secret to finishing strong is not necessarily pushing harder, but embracing the rest your soul needs. In this episode we discuss: Everything that grows and produces needs times to rest and recover. God has designed us to cycle between effort/work and recovery/rest. When we allow time for rest and recovery, it allows things to grow stronger. How do we allow time for rest when there's still work to be done? How do we slow down the pace of our lives to enjoy the holiday season? I’ve got some homework for you. Next week’s episode will be our final episode for 2019. We’re talking about our year in review and mentally preparing for a new year with a one word theme.  Your homework is to grab the free Year in Review download at strongher.me/episode65 and start reflecting on your year by conducting your own year in review: List your 3 most memorable WINS of 2019. What did you try that you didn’t complete, but you plan to keep working towards in 2020? What are 1-2 lessons learned in 2019 that will change how you approach 2020?
