Rest and Relaxation

If yesterday got a little intense for you… I’m NOT sorry LOL. Today is part of the balance.  Sometimes I have to give a little tough love just to keep everyone focused.  Now let’s talk a little about balance in our lives.

As some of you know may know, I had the great honor of being named Beachbody’s Top Coach again. It’s all because of your hard work and the amazing community that the teamRIPPED Nation has become. There is no way this could have happened without you and your hard work. So again, and I can’t say it enough, Thank you!  The pics you see (beside and below) were taken this week at Iguazu Falls in Argentina.  It’s one of the most beautiful displays of God’s Creation I’ve ever seen.  It’s like everywhere you look, you see Him showing off his handywork!

Even though I’ve had a TON of fitness success and financial success through Beachbody and the coaching opportunity, it is just one facet of my life. I am still working at as an orthodontist. I am still a father of 6. I still am a husband. Needless to say, things can be pretty busy at times. Through good planning, preparation, and routines it’s pretty manageable.

I am currently on a little trip right now thanks to Beachbody and the great opportunity and blessing I have been given to be Top Coach. It’s much needed rest. What is even better is that it’s time for just Anita and me! Time to focus on each other and relax. While taking a little time to just breath and be together, I have realized I need to make a little change to how I do business around here. Now don’t worry, I am still going be here for you 100%, but it’s a good change.

The Bible teaches us that the Lord knew our propensity, especially as men, would be to overwork. Even more so after the fall, we know it’s by the sweat of our brow that we will make our living. Hard work is a good thing, but to safe guard our own tendencies, we were given the Sabbath. A day of rest, just for us. “The Sabbath was made for man…” This day of rest wasn’t designed to be an imposition to us, but a benefit to us. We need time off. To relax, reflect, recharge. The Lord’s intent was for us to focus on Him in this time. It’s a good thing!

You may have noticed some of this already if you emailed me late Saturday or on Sunday. I really try to save all those emails for Monday morning. In the past before Livefyre, I still did comments on Sunday. I never wanted them to pile up all day, so I would get on teamRIPPED to “approve” them and reply. With comments posting instantly, I am going to start taking that off of my plate on Sundays too. Your posts will still post, you can still interact and answer each others’ questions, but if it is a question for me… I’ll get back to you on Monday morning. :-)

In doing so, I will be able to fully take a Sabbath. I will have complete rest and time devoted to my faith and family. Wherever you are, a Sabbath is really healthy.

So you know I still love ya’ll right? I am going to keep enjoying my vacation. I will still be “working” this Beachbody job, so don’t hesitate to fire off a question. This rarely feels like work! I love seeing all the amazing work you guys and gals are doing. Keep it up! I can’t wait to see what kind of transformations the R1PP3D Challenge brings. The day 30 progress pics I have seen from y’all are great. If you haven’t joined us yet, what are you waiting for? This is a whole year challenge. Get on board and get R1PP3D! ’13 can still be your year!
