Build A Recovery Plan Before You Need One

About this episode

You don't usually create a recovery plan when everything is going well.

You create one when something has already gone wrong.

When you're exhausted.

Overwhelmed.

Disappointed.

Burned out.

Or suddenly dealing with a problem you didn't expect.

But those are often the worst moments to figure out what you need.

Build A Recovery Plan Before You Need One explores the value of deciding in advance how you'll respond when life knocks you off your normal routine.

A recovery plan doesn't have to be complicated.

It can be a short list of things that help you return to yourself.

Who do you call?

What responsibilities can wait?

What habits help you stabilize?

What can you temporarily remove?

What tells you that you're pushing too far?

What needs to happen before you start demanding your normal performance again?

The goal isn't to predict every possible problem.

It's to give yourself a reliable starting point when your ability to think clearly is reduced.

Maybe your plan includes getting enough sleep.

Taking a day away from unnecessary commitments.

Cleaning your environment.

Going for a walk.

Talking to someone you trust.

Returning to a basic routine.

Writing down what actually needs to be handled.

Or simply giving yourself permission to stop making major decisions while you're overwhelmed.

Recovery isn't the opposite of progress.

Sometimes recovery is what makes continued progress possible.

You don't need to wait until you're completely depleted before you decide that rest matters.

You don't need to reach a crisis before you know who you can ask for help.

And you don't need to improvise your way back every time something knocks you down.

Build the plan while you're clear-headed.

Keep it simple enough to follow when you're not.

Because difficult seasons are easier to navigate when you already know what your next few steps are.

Build a recovery plan before you need one.
