We\u2019ve explored six of the seven habits and why they&#8217;re important to us and our learners at SCVi Charter School, and hopefully by this point you feel more equipped and empowered to approach your own life and work with clearer focus and vision.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But how do we maintain that energy?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s where Habit 7 comes in \u2014 Sharpen the Saw. Incorporating the 7 Habits into your life is all about achieving balance. But living a life in balance means taking the necessary time to renew yourself. It&#8217;s all up to you. You can renew yourself through relaxation, or you can totally burn yourself out by overdoing everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSharpen the Saw\u201d means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have \u2014 you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social\/emotional, mental, and spiritual. Here are some examples:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical: Beneficial eating, exercising, and resting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social\/Emotional: Making social and meaningful connections with others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental: Learning, reading, writing, and teaching.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spiritual: Spending time in nature, expanding spiritual self through meditation, music, art, prayer, or service, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point is, if we don\u2019t take the time to recharge and renew ourselves regularly, we <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">burn out and find our efforts stale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Dr. Stephen Covey said, &#8220;Renewal is the principle \u2014 and the process \u2014 that empowers us to move on an upward spiral of growth and change, of continuous improvement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What that sharpening looks like will vary from person to person. For you, sharpening the saw might mean taking a 10-15-minute walk every day where you can decompress and not focus on day-to-day responsibilities. Or maybe it means better structuring your workweek so on weekends you can focus primarily on family time. Whatever your saw-sharpening looks like, find something that works for you.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the saying goes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. To make the most of the 7 Habits in improving yourself, your life, and your work, it cannot be a piecemeal effort. Each enhances and strengthens the others. Step by step, find the balance of incorporating each habit \u2014 and don\u2019t neglect yourself. Sharpen that saw so that you can truly be your best.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information on the 7 Habits and other leadership resources, <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.com\/the-7-habits.html\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">click here<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to visit the FranklinCovey website.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note: This is one in a series of articles on the pillars of SCVi Charter School\u2019s educational philosophy and approach.&nbsp; So here we<span class=\"more-link\">&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/ileadsantaclarita.org\/news\/exploring-scvi-charter-school-culture-habit-7-of-the-7-habits\/\">Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[530,550],"class_list":["post-36336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-scvi-charter-school","tag-the-7-habits"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
