A friend asked, “How do you deal with work stress?” By creating milestones and something to look forward to, I build into my schedule some stress relief valves. A quick walk on a lunch break, a talk with a friend or co-worker, and a good music or an Audible book allow for relief during the work day.
On the weekend, I try to build in something to anticipate. A favorite show, a nap, a pedicure, a fancy coffee, a call with a friend. Think about what you value and what brings you joy. And schedule it in to make sure it happens.
We all need re-fueling. Please be kind to yourself.
Happy end of January. Enjoy the weekend.
