In my study call yesterday, I had a great challenge “you’re saying you want to take more space, chill out & enjoy some down time, but we’re seeing your energy rising - which is it?” A good challenge that stopped me for a moment, but I had no doubt in my response. “When I take time out, whether it’s a couple of hours in my hammock or simply a coffee in my garden between calls - I get such a boost, clearer thinking or getting creative”. And if I had a penny for every time a leader I’m coaching said “I don’t have time to…”

Whatever you do this week, notice if you take any time at all for yourself. Find some new many ways, micro moments whether alone or with others - it makes a difference!
