Find your anchors

Everyday Leadership for Smart Women

We can endure almost anything if we are centered, if we have some focus in our life. You can endure if you have an anchor.

Renita J. Weems

A reminder that for the next little while, I’ll be publishing more often with shorter episodes as a way to talk about and support you during the uncertainty of the times.

Today I want to chat about finding your anchors.

A month into self-isolation I’ve learned that there are a few things I need to do every day to stay grounded. This goes beyond my micro-moves I talked about in the last episode – those were more about what I wanted to accomplish each day.

My anchors are the activities I do my very best to ensure happen every day, no matter what. These are simple things that help me feel more like myself, turn down the volume on any anxiety I’m feeling and remind me that at this moment – I’m ok.

When I do these things, I feel more capable of taking on the to-do items on my list. And when I do these things, I feel better, more hopeful and like I’ve had a mindset reset. Listen in to hear what they are and how you can find your own.

Enjoy the episode.
