So I’m guessing when the stern-faced coaches say this in the cool movies, they actually mean Take A Break! maybe for at least 5 minutes.

Having said that I’m going to make quite a wild suggestion.

At every point in our life we all individually and most consciously need to take 5

Note: I ain’t just talking about taking a breather. I mean sitting down and resting (I don’t mean sleeping) having shut off all external communication and just muse.

You know we all get our fair share of twenty-four hours and yes we do try consciously or otherwise to choke it up and use the most of it but unfortunately, we forget the simple law of diminishing returns still applies to our bodies too. Its funny but this is just one of many reasons why you should make taking 5 a ritual. You may assume you’re doing fine and you can still do more. Even though I agree with you and I admire your enthusiasm and hardwork please heed this little piece of advice because you just might have a breakdown that’ll force you to take 5 or worse you would work hard, get meager results and wonder why.

You should also pay note to the fact that with every passing minute, time strides along and its most trusted companion, change simple follows on. In your zealousness, you may be working with an old information,knowledge, system and if you don’t take 5 to take a wholesome look at your life you will never notice but sooner than later you’ll be irrelevant, redundant and ultimately substituted.

To take 5 will also give you an amazing opportunity to take a SWOT analysis. In full that is your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats all-in-one assessment. A good handle of this only comes when you’ve done some good old hardwork and then you take 5 and analyze. This little trick right here might just be what you need to unlock new levels of your career, ministry, family or in summary Life.

Now the take 5 concept doesn’t work for lazy people so you don’t get it all mixed up. You should have a set goal and must have put in good hardwork and time before you consider taking anything.
