On this episode of the Beyond tired Series, Alan introduces the concept of cultivating a replenishment cycle. Building on the first episode's assessment of tiredness and the second episode's actionable steps, Alan emphasizes the power of coupling newfound awareness with concrete actions for genuine transformation. Sharing personal anecdotes and the inspiring story of a friend's weight loss journey, Alan highlights the significance of consistent small steps rather than daunting, unachievable goals. He champions momentum and routine, encouraging listeners to focus on simple daily actions like walking, reading, journaling, or even taking short naps. These seemingly minor habits, when maintained, can drastically rejuvenate one's energy. Alan also discusses the importance of weekly routines, from tracking energy levels and planning with family to prioritizing sleep and hydration. He reintroduces the holistic grid Jesus provided and the START, STOP, KEEP method as valuable tools to evaluate one's life domains. However, Alan cautions listeners about the ease of veering off course, emphasizing the importance of proactive decisions and intentional routines. He suggests a weekly energy tracking system and urges listeners to journal and update their calendars with these revitalizing practices. As the episode winds down, listeners are left with a pertinent question: What daily and weekly routines will they adopt to foster replenishment and revitalization?

Erwin McManus, an award-winning author and acclaimed leadership coach, discusses his journey in personal development and the inspiration behind his new book, Mind Shift.

His insights are both practical and deeply motivational.

On this episode, Alan dives deeper into the "Beyond Tired" series with a focus on actionable changes to reverse the tiredness cycle. Building on the first episode, listeners are reminded of the importance of knowing their tiredness level and are then guided on how to take next right steps. Alan shares his personal journey, revealing how he landed in "Capital T tiredness" and the strategic plan he developed to regain energy and balance. By leveraging a straightforward yet effective grid, Alan encourages listeners to decide on three critical actions: What will you START doing to invigorate your life What will you STOP doing to eliminate energy-drainers What will you KEEP doing to maintain beneficial habits. Alan shares a few personal choices, from walking daily and prioritizing peace at home to reducing caffeine intake, serve as relatable examples. By the episode's end, listeners are prompted to dedicate time to journaling and making firm declarations in these three pivotal areas. So, listeners must ask themselves: What activities or habits should they START, STOP, and KEEP?

On this episode, Alan introduces us to our "Beyond Tired" series, where listeners are invited to assess their tiredness levels and its sources. We delve into the three types of fatigue: "lowercase t" tiredness, which is an expected short-term fatigue that requires a planned break; "UPPERCASE T" tiredness, indicating extended fatigue without a reversal plan, prompting serious reflection; "Beyond tired", a profound state nearing burnout, often accompanied by numbness and possibly depression. Alan emphasizes the importance of medical checks and therapy, especially for those experiencing the latter two types. The episode also highlights a holistic evaluation grid presented by Jesus, encouraging listeners to evaluate which area of their life – body, mind, relationships, heart, or soul – is causing the most fatigue. Which tiredness level are you experiencing, and which life area is your  primary fatigue source. Journal your reflections  for deeper insight and actionable steps.

By fostering genuine connections and actively seeking feedback, leaders can enhance their effectiveness and build healthier organizational cultures.
