When we renew – we experience a sense of feeling refreshed, we feel as though we can start again with enthusiasm, and feel like giving fresh life and energy to our work and interactions.
It is critical, that as leaders, you have opportunities not just for rest, but for renewal.
Here are five renewal strategies discussed in today’s episode:
- Do things that slow the body down and focus the mind
- Engage in physical activity
- Interact and be a part of nature
- Do things (including having thoughts) that promote optimism and hope
- Engage in acts of self-kindness/self-compassion
