Increasing the Capacity!

Increasing the Capacity!
Whether it is making money or reducing your body fat, you need the discipline to do hard work and most often the motivation is not there and for the rest of us we don’t know how. So, what should we do?
To excel in any endower, we need the motivation and we need the knowhow. But even these two are not enough for many of us, why because we don’t have the discipline to go through the pain of practise and exercise.
Malcolm gladwell in his new book outliers says that to excel in any endower, need at least 10,000 hours of practice. And that is what all achievers do, practise the practice.
But for many, hard work is often painful and most people get stressed down and they quit.
Often I see people get burnt out and getting stressed down, the reason is that people work continuously without break and at one point after too much of stress they get break down and how to avoid it? Is there a way to work differently? Smartly?
Yes there are ways to work smart. People often relate hard work with success and achievement and it is true that hard work leads to success but at the same time hard work also leads to stress and break down.
Tony Schwartz gives you a better way to work. To work effectively first you need to increase your capacity and to increase your capacity you need to systematically stress the area where you are building the capacity. It can be mental, emotional, physical or spiritual.
Say if your are building physical capacity, you need to do a physical work out with full effort for 20 minutes and then go on a rest for few hours before you have another work out. So rest is part of building capacity.
Many feel that during rest there is nothing happening and it is a waste of time but actually the muscle recovers and builds stronger only in the rest period and this is true to even mental muscle and also emotional muscle.
Rest is very very important because we are an oscillatory being in an oscillatory universe.
