My biggest challenge has been of my own creation… despite the fact that I am an introvert, I have highly developed extroverted qualities that belie the truth. As such, I am “on” when I am at work… highly participatory, leader, influencer… but this leaves very little “gas in the engine” at the end of each day. So, I have taken to doing a few things to conserve energy… take 5 minutes once a day (which I schedule) to listen to ocean waves crashing with my eyes closed, feet on the floor (“Deep Relax” is a great app that has all kinds of sounds). Further, a grounding exercise in the morning of deep breathing/ meditation helps too. And, most of all, being gentle and kind to myself when the gas tank is seemingly not enough to keep going and a recharge is in order!
