Day #277 - Frail and Human

Being Kind to Yourself

I was on holiday last week, recharging, and ready to come back with a bang. But i just didn’t feel it today. There was a gap between my anticipation and my energy. So i nearly didn’t write this: i thought i could take an extra ‘day off’, that nobody would miss it.

Then i realised i would miss it: but that i could be kind to myself and just write some text instead of a video.

Sometimes you need to suck it up and step up, and sometimes you need to be kind to yourself and take some space. There’s no deep philosophy behind that, just a pragmatic recognition that we are all frail and all human.

Whilst Social Leadership is about leadership in the arms of a community, it’s also grounded in the ‘self’. Myself - yourself.

Use your sixty seconds today to consider how you are kind to yourself (or whether you are kind enough)
