It is time to retreat, when we’ve been working on something for a long time. It is time to retreat, when things seem overwhelming. It is time to retreat, when we begin to make too many mistakes.
It is time to retreat, when we are only running on fumes. It is time to retreat, when we grow quick to anger. It is time to retreat, when we’re working on the same projects and neglecting others.
It is time to retreat, when we begin to lose a handle on things. It is time to retreat, when we start to lose our passion for what we’re doing. It is time retreat, when we’re ignoring our other responsibilities.
The benefits of retreating from something help us to get reoriented to about why we started the project or task in the first place. Retreating helps us to stand back and see things objectively.
Retreating is about doing some thinking and making sure we’re still on track of our purpose or mission. It’s easy to stay in the trenches and not see the forest.
Retreating is also useful to help us see how much progress we’ve made over time and how far we have left to go. Retreating renews our energy that we will need when we return.
