It is so important to look after yourself as a busy leader. When you are juggling priorities, rushing from one meeting to another and being present for everyone in your life – at home and at work - it is so important to find some time to rest, relax and pamper yourself.
If we don’t stop and recharge, we allow ourselves to become exhausted or run down. It is often then that we don’t have the energy for self-care. However, this is just the time to prioritise it. We can’t be effective or successful at work or at home if we are completely depleted.
I use a range of strategies to recharge and renew. I practise yoga most days, I read, I enjoy taking my dog for a walk, I spend time with friends and loved ones, and I switch off and watch a good quality drama or theatre production.
I was pampered today by Sophie from Cooper Beauty www.cooperbeauty.co.uk Sophie has just started her own small business. If you are in the South Devon area, I highly recommend giving her a call!
