Best Self

Probably one of the most important aspects of being your best self is recognizing that you don’t need to be all things to all people at all times. If your strength is connecting people with purpose or creativity and design, and know by trying that all things administration really irritate and frustrate you, chances are you won’t be thriving in a job that’s all admin and no front-facing of the public. Not only does this encapsulate you, this doesn’t justify the job you’re doing when someone who thrives in admin could be doing it.

…funny how that works.

Preventing Burnout

Burnout. We can’t cover it up with doing (hello type three), we can’t pretend we’re healthy when we’re really feeling quiet (hello type two), and we can’t be as active as possible (type seven, I see you). So where’s the balance?

Dealing with Stress During the Holidays

Holidays happen to be my favorite time of year - there’s a shift of expectation in the atmosphere. People are more cheerful, excited about life in general; and even here in Australia (where it warms up more than anything else), you’ll find more friends out and about than you would any other time of year. What a joy.
