It’s the holiday season, and it’s weird.
Many of us are missing old traditions, connecting virtually with those we love, and perhaps even finding time on our hands that we might otherwise have spent travelling or preparing elaborate celebrations.
I’ve been fortunate to lead MHQ for 8 years now. While I feel incredible gratitude most days, even in a “normal” year, leadership can feel stressful. People are counting on us.
I often ask other leaders: how are you taking care of yourself?
This can catch folks off-guard. It’s as if in the whirlwind of our family, work and volunteer responsibilities, we forgot how important we are. What happens if we don’t take care of ourselves?
As we near the end of a tumultuous year, consider a gift to yourself. Relax for 15 minutes, and create a vision for how you want to take care of yourself. Remember to include what is working now.
