Miles of Books: The Art of Pacing
About this episode
This episode discusses the book 'The Art of Pacing' and its insights on balancing demands and thriving.
Anyone feeling rundown or overburdened owes it to herself to listen to this episode about a brand-new book called The Art of Pacing : A Guide to Balancing Short-Term Demands with Long-Term Thriving by Elizabeth Svoboda. A big fan of this 188-page book, Coach Liz Waterstraat details lessons learned from it, including the importance of choosing to rest (couched in the term, “principled dissent”) and why a “struggle phase” when starting a run or kicking off a work project is natural and normal. Discover what it means to “re-story”—and why it can provide clarity and energy.
