You are the Chief Executive Officer of your own life.
Check in on the observation of how you use your time.
Do you take a daily appreciation break or do you power through non-stop because you know, work and life is relentless?
I agree. It is relentless.
Consider choosing a buffer of an appreciation break to allow your nervous system and your cognitive load to be more optional space to follow through on what matters.
What is an appreciation break?
You choose that.
You will know best.
Lead yourself well.
There is no going back.
There IS going forward.
We look to the past to observe the default patterns of thinking and doing - so that we can take those lessons into the present.
In the present, we experiment, evaluate, adapt and change.

Notice. Name. Choose.
Lead yourself well.

Notice and name your village of supports and their village of supports and their village of supports. Somewhere in your world, there will be people or resources or avenues to disrupt this hamster wheel of stress - and help you move onward and forward.
Notice. Name. Choose.
Lead yourself well.
How fast do you walk? When do you stroll?
When you use a pen, how quickly do you write?
Where are your shoulders positioned right now?
How deep are your breaths right now?
Sprints of hair-straight-back are common. The occasional marathon of project management, or the mountain climb of life and work demands can certainly add adventure to a life of meaningful contribution.
Double-click on what is driving you to live in a state of hustle, hurry, strive, fix, heal, fomo, never-enough, never-complete, or never-arriving. Notice the message and the language beneath this way of life.
Notice. Name. Choose.
Lead yourself well.
