Reflections on the Art of Being Human at Work.

Maintain Your Center Throughout The Workday Some days can get away from you before you sit down at your desk, while other days can be a slog. As our days pull us along or come at us, we ride the waves of our own regulation. Being able to find our center when we get knocked off course can help us navigate the day with more ease and grace. 
The Body at Work When you have a chronic illness or chronic pain, not only does your ability to navigate life feel slippery, but you feel like you get through a basic day held together by the metaphorical providence of bandaids and a prayer.
Taking Joy Into Your Hands Experiencing joy doesn’t make us disloyal to our pain. But a life focused solely on the various sufferings that grace our humanity leaves out the other even more juicy parts of a wholly-lived, soulful life. 
What Are You Modeling? It’s the CEOs job to build the machine that builds the products and services, not to build the products and services. If the proper machine hasn’t been built, that makes leading more difficult. 
Strength in Numbers Leaving self-care behind leaves much at stake. Doing so leads to burnout, emotional breakdowns, and anxiety attacks, and creates unpleasant interpersonal relations and undue harm to those around you. By taking care of yourself first, you can better care for others.
Enter the Spiritual Crisis The body has a way of letting us know when we need to slow down. Yet, how well do we listen?
Women’s Conversations: Lifting Up What We Face, What We Know, & What We Can Change Women are often better at caring for others than for ourselves, which can show up in the workplace as women who support and mentor others, or take care of everyone else’s emotional needs but not her own.
No Going Back Folks come to us at various stages of burnout, moments of transition and trial, or when they know what got them here won’t get them where they need and want to go. The choice is to opt for something better, something more suitable and sustainable, and that may feel entirely new at the edge of what’s possible.
An Inside Job Learning to love yourself is a broad stroke of self-compassion--the cornerstone to self-care. Living from that place affords us to resources our security from a different place, an internal place, where we know that we’re okay.
