Happy 11:11 Tuesdays Reader,

Here are 1 Thought, 1 Quote, 1 Word and 1 Humour for you to reflect upon this week.

1. Thought

New Year re-set

If you are burned out, stop doing what’s burning you out.

This sunds simple and lso ogical, yet most lof usfear doing this. - it's like we are programmed to stay on the treadmill till the point of exhaustion and still unable to hit the pause button.

So, as the year comes to an end, I want to share a practice with you that you could do regularly in 2026.

It's called the Reset Re-evolve Recovery roadmap.

1️⃣ Redefine success — from achievement to alignment.
Burnout happens when what you do and who you are stop matching.

2️⃣ Design recovery into your day, not just your vacation.
Leaders don’t need long breaks. They need short 'deep breaths' — often.

3️⃣ Trade intensity for consistency.
The most sustainable leaders are rhythmic, not restless and sporadic.

Do you remember the story of the woodcutter, who never paused to sharpen his axe? Don't be that woodcutter.

You don’t lose your edge when you slow down.
You sharpen it, instead.

Let's make rest & realignment the new mantra for 2026.

May you re-evolve to a career and life you love....
