Five Things I Have Learned During a Crisis
The world has been in upheaval lately. This has affected me and my job as I have been dealing with world events and their effects on the members of my organization that I oversee. There have also been a few individual crises of our members that have coincided with this general time of unrest. I have been running on adrenaline for almost two months. At times I felt exhausted and overwhelmed, unmotivated, and on the verge of giving up. Things are finally getting back to normal-ish and I am able to have more breathing room. I am now able to take stock of what has worked well and helped me through this difficult time. I hope these tips are useful for you, too.
It is well
I realized that this space I had unwittingly created was good. It was a much-needed break for my well-being. A time to refocus and reenergize. I am not going to feel guilty for listening to my own needs and giving myself a little room.
