Now's Not the Time to Stop

What's your mind set at this time of the year? 

During the middle of December many of us mentally start to slow down. Whether we had one of the best year's of our lives, or one of the most challenging, we basically check out too early.  Somehow the work that remains becomes a bit of a struggle, (this doesn't include work that must be done by calendar year end), and we look more towards "getting away from it all" instead of running towards finishing it all. 

While it is important to rest, reflect and plan for the following year, what would happen if we were to use this opportunity to actually recharge and finish strong? A marathon is 26.2 and only when we cross the finish line at .2 do we get that energy rush!

How early do you finish your year and what can you do differently  to finish strong?

What would it look like if everyone slowed down for the last 3 miles of a marathon? At the same time 12/31 is the finish off the year, but also the start of the next year. Life is the ultimate endurance event, so energy management is vital.
