Slowing Down to Get Ahead: The Power of Rest, Reflection, and Resetting Your Game Plan Ep 27

Episode Title: Slowing Down to Get Ahead: The Power of Rest, Reflection, and Resetting Your Game Plan

Episode Summary:
In this episode of the Clean Play Podcast, Chris and I dive into a counterintuitive truth: sometimes the fastest way to move forward is to slow down. We explore why rest isn’t just a luxury—it’s a competitive advantage in sobriety, business, and life. From sports analogies to personal stories, we unpack how taking a strategic pause can sharpen your focus, strengthen your self-trust, and align your actions with your purpose.

Whether you’re navigating early sobriety, growing a business, or chasing a personal goal, this conversation will help you rethink the pace you’re keeping—and give you permission to pause without guilt.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How slowing down can actually accelerate your progress.

• The link between recovery (in both sports and sobriety) and sustainable performance.

• Practical ways to integrate rest and reflection into your routine without losing momentum.

• Why “doing less” can sometimes be the most productive move you make.

• How to spot the warning signs that you’re pushing too hard—and what to do instead.

Why This Episode Matters:
In a culture that glorifies the grind, rest can feel like weakness. But just like elite athletes schedule recovery days to perform at their best, we too need moments to reset and regroup. This episode is your playbook for building those moments into your own game plan—so you can stay in the arena for the long haul.
