After Her Nuclear Disaster Dress Rehearsal, Cynthia Lazaroff Has A Wake-Up Call For Our World As We Sleepwalk Into Nuclear Extinction
If you are mindful throughout the day of managing stress and your energy, you are more likely to remain focused and effective and to put yourself in a position to turn off and wind down at the end of the day. Conversely, if you let stress build up and do not feed your energy, you will end the day with unfinished business and an unsettled mind.
The realities of working from home and the squeeze on childcare combine to force many working mothers to burn the candle at both ends. A common refrain from women is the need to stay up late or get up early in order to tend to critical work tasks. An executive client of mine did not realize the signals he was sending to his team when he emailed them off-hours or over the weekend. He was not only modeling unhealthy behavior; he was implicitly creating the expectation that his employees needed to stay “on,” making it more difficult for them to disconnect.
No one should ever underestimate the power of a good night's sleep!
