Key Takeaways From This Episode:
Delegate before you think you can.
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of humility.
Knowing who you are, your identity, what you can do, what you can’t do, and remember it, take a step back and process everything. Find things that trigger you and avoid them. Self-talk helps
If we don’t believe in ourselves, we won’t be able to do what we are called to do in this world.
Sometimes, answers are in the silence. Quiet walks help. It is a sort of walking meditation.
Don’t think of being tired. Think of what is happening as a marathon. It will end. Think of stamina. Keep going. Pace yourself.
Every storm has a silver lining. Even on the darkest days, the blue sky is always there.
This is a life-altering time when you can be the person that you want to be. It’s an opportunity for all of us to come out of this better than we came in.
It’s all about helping each other right now because we are all struggling.
Don’t stop. You need momentum mentally and physically because if you do, you need to start all over again. You can take a break, but don’t stop.
It’s all about showing up. Just get up and see where it will take you.
You can try the Pomodoro technique if you need to focus or start something. Do something for just 25 minutes and then take a break for 5 minutes. See how many 25 minutes you can do.
