In my early days as an event planner, then speaker and author, after an amazing event, speaking engagement or book launch, I'd go into a funk and I couldn't figure out why!

• It was AWESOME!
• Better than I'd expected!
• So, why the blues?

Over the years, I've come to realize that AFTER a big launch or win of any kind, it's like shifting into a different operating mode. You've been in high-speed, action, attainment mode for weeks, months or even years. Upon launch (or post-event), all that adrenaline, anticipation, hard work and excitement is gone.

• GONE.
• In an instant.
• From crazy busy to crickets!

Especially if it was HUGE push followed by a BIG win, the ensuing silence is weird and can feel so very anticlimactic.
Once we realize WHY there is a big LULL after a launch, we're able to appreciate it for what it is. Imagine the rest after a marathon. That's this!
Think of it as a rocket ship launching. 

• Decades of preparation
• Massive explosions required for liftoff
• Boosters to get it through the barrier
• Then darkness and silence

The boosters have fallen away and it is running now on a totally different operating system with radically different goals than prelaunch.
The more you internalize this trust, the more you'll be able to embrace the empty space and new opportunities to succeed with the REST of the mission. Start with literal rest and reflection, then move into intentional maximization of your launch effort.
​It's a good thing!
