The Recovery Ingredients Matrix

Whether it’s a work or a home, we all deal with uncertain, volatile, and complex environments.

Recovery” is the key word not only to deal with those environments in order to avoid Burnout. Recovery is in fact the very first thing we must embrace, and personalize if we want to become high-performing individuals.

Now, in practical terms, when we try to implement Recovery Strategies, we tend to rely on well-intended advise from other people.

The problem is that what it works for them may not work for us. Despite of that, we force our way into making someone else’s recipe work for us.

It’s like having someone suggesting you to were a V-Neck, red, M-size, T-Shirt (because it fits them and they like it). Even though that person may be fond to you, you struggle with the advice because probably that’s not size, not your style, and maybe you even hate the color red.

Because of that, I came up with what I call Recovery Ingredients.

These ingredients serve as a starting point in your journey to Continuous Recovery, meaning: you give your best at your professional/personal goal, and also, you recover at your best using one or a combination of these ingredients.
