Stress Busters for Environmental Stewards
I am a recovering bulldog…
One of the things I was known for at work was my perseverance. In fact, one of my former bosses, the mayor of a large city, called me a “bulldog.” I took that as a compliment and pretty much lived up to that label my entire working life. But here’s the downside. Just like a bulldog, relentlessly charging without pause, continuing to push yourself without heed to body or emotional signals can result in chronic stress. Constantly operating at full throttle means never giving yourself the chance to recharge or recalibrate and can result in a loss of productivity, not a gain. Believe me, I’ve tested myself many times on this and I know it’s true! So, listen to your body. When it is telling you to take a break—do just that. Switch the“off” button for a while, leave your office and do something that replenishes your energy. Listening to your body is not a symbol of weakness; it’s a strategy for sustainable success.
