Description

Leading people creates stress and puts pressure on your health and well-being. But as a leader, it's important for you to set a standard that not only keeps you in top shape, but sets an example for your team to follow.And while you no doubt know what you need to be doing to take care of yourself, chances are you may not be. We covered our five top tips for self care in this week's podcast episode.

Episode Highlights:

• Meditate - This is one of the most powerful things we can do for our health yet it's one that many people resist. We think it's because people a) misunderstand exactly what meditation is, and b) have unrealistic expectations about what the experience should be.
• Move your body - We are designed to move and need to move to maintain strength, flexibility and even posture. We certainly weren't designed to sit at desks or in front of screens all day. So for those of us who are working in an office or home office environment, we need to do extra to compensate for the movement that's not happening.
• Turn up the positive - As adults we need to work a little harder to counteract the streams of negative influences that come our way. Bad news on the television. Gossip and rumours in the workplace or home. Even bad experiences like being cut off in traffic, having someone steal your car, be rude to your or even worse.
• Hydrate - Apart from making the body sluggish it also makes the mind sluggish. That's not good for anyone but especially not good for you as a leader with people depending on you to make good decisions.
• Get outdoors - We don't need to tell you about the benefits of fresh air vs conditioned air but there is lot more to being outdoors than just that.
• Your well-being challenge
