New blog post: Celebrate your accomplishments and take time for self-care. We are each our own most important resource.

Thank you to Palena Neale at https://unabridgedleadership.com/ for the excellent writings on these topics. #wellness #selfcare #wellbein

Leaders may avoid pursuing self-care due to the sense that they don't deserve it, that it is a reward rather than a building block. It is challenging to get people past the idea that self-care is frivolous or that they're undeserving of it (with side of imposter syndrome, too). Leaders have to take care of themselves in order to take care of others.
