When you are striving to get ahead, putting in the extra effort and hours required to achieve your goals and create the future that you have envisioned, it can get extremely hectic.

As part of your overall planning and goal setting, it is also important to occasionally reward yourself with some downtime or real time away. This will allow you to recharge your energy, clear your mind and gain perspective on things, so that you come back reinvigorated and ready to create your future.

If you are going all out, being highly productive and possibly creating a business that will provide you with the additional cash flow you require to begin investing and attaining multi-millionaire status, then you will also occasionally need time to recharge.

Don’t think of this as being self-indulgent. It is critical that you set aside time for yourself to do something that you truly enjoy. Doing so will allow you to gain perspective and be more productive when you return.

It’s important that you are actually scheduling your downtime, just as you do with the tasks and goals that are moving you forward. Sticking to a schedule is crucial to accomplishing goals and creating the life you want, and time to recharge should be a part of this schedule.

Scheduling ensures that you can actually enjoy yourself and feel good about taking time out, rather than feeling anxious or guilty about taking unscheduled breaks. Scheduling also means knowing that the break is time limited, which will help you to stay on track when taking a breaks, so that you return to your daily tasks refreshed, reenergized and feeling good about your time off.

You don’t have to take an elaborate or expensive vacation. It may just be a matter of getting away for a long weekend to a place where you can truly feel relaxed and able to unplug from your hectic pace. You should also schedule occasional small rewards for yourself such as going out to a movie or spending time with friends.

Great effort and commitment will be required to create the life you have envisioned, but it’s important to also enjoy yourself along the way. Maintaining a healthy balance will, in the end, ensure that you are your most productive and effective self as you stride toward your future.
