MME Minute: 🛑 Selah. The Millionaire’s Secret Weapon

Jul 12 • General discussion

Good morning.

It’s Saturday, July 12th, 2025.

There’s a tiny Hebrew word tucked into the Psalms that packs a mighty punch: Selah.

It means pause.

Reflect.

Breathe.

Soak it in.

It’s the musical equivalent of silence—a deliberate rest in the rhythm of life.

And let’s be honest…

We’ve lost that rhythm.

In a culture obsessed with hustle and productivity, we’ve turned rest into a luxury instead of a necessity. We scroll ourselves to sleep. We caffeinate our fatigue. We treat exhaustion like a badge of honor.

But here’s the truth: Rest is not a reward for your work. Rest is a requirement for your wealth, your wellness, and your wisdom.

That’s why here inside the millionaireME community, we treat rest as a high-performance tool—not just something you do after success, but something that makes success possible.

So what does real, restorative rest look like?

Here are 5 ways to maximize rest—so you can live, work, and love from a full tank:

1. Protect your Sleep Window.

7–8 hours. Same bedtime. Same wake time. Every. Single. Day.

You don’t find energy. You recover it.

2. Practice Box Breathing.

Inhale 4 counts → Hold 4 → Exhale 4 → Hold 4. Repeat.

Just 2 minutes of this can calm your nervous system and rewire stress patterns.

3. Digital Sabbath.

Try a 24-hour break each week. Turn off notifications. Turn on your life.

You’ll be amazed what clarity and creativity re-enter your soul.

4. Walk Like It’s Worship.
