    "We must never become too busy sawing to take time to sharpen the saw."

    DR. STEPHEN R. COVEY

    HABIT 7: SHARPEN THE SAW®
    Seek continuous improvement and renewal professionally and personally.

    Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. Here are some examples of activities:

     

    Physical: Beneficial eating, exercising, and resting
    Social/Emotional: Making social and meaningful connections with others
    Mental: Learning, reading, writing, and teaching
    Spiritual: Spending time in nature, expanding spiritual self through meditation, music, art, prayer, or service

    "Renewal is the principle—and the process—that empowers us to move on an upward spiral of growth and change, of continuous improvement. "
    DR. STEPHEN R. COVEY

    As you renew yourself in each of the four areas, you create growth and change in your life. Sharpen the Saw keeps you fresh so you can continue to practice the other six habits. You increase your capacity to produce and handle the challenges around you. Without this renewal, the body becomes weak, the mind mechanical, the emotions raw, the spirit insensitive, and the person selfish. Not a pretty picture, is it?

     

    FEELING GOOD DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN.

    Living a life in balance means taking the necessary time to renew yourself. It's all up to you. You can renew yourself through relaxation. Or you can totally burn yourself out by overdoing everything.

    You can pamper yourself mentally and spiritually. Or you can go through life oblivious to your well-being. You can experience vibrant energy. Or you can procrastinate and miss out on the benefits of good health and exercise. You can revitalize yourself and face a new day in peace and harmony. Or you can wake up in the morning full of apathy because your get-up-and-go has got-up-and-gone. Just remember that every day provides a new opportunity for renewal--a new opportunity to recharge yourself instead of hitting the wall. All it takes is the desire, knowledge, and skill.
