Leading Through The Holiday's - Feelings Don’t Get Majority Vote
Your Feelings Don’t Get Majority Vote
We’ve talked a lot over the last month or so about mental health, self-care, and leading ourselves well. I want to leave you with a reminder that you can behave your way to thinking, but you can’t think your way to behaving. In other words, don’t just think about the things you need to do to lead yourself well- start doing them. Right now, today, do one thing to take care of yourself. I give you permission to do so and to focus on yourself, and I believe that if you make self-care and good personal habits and routines a consistent practice in your life, you will become a better leader for those around you.
What can you do to start building a healthy habit or take care of yourself this week? How about today? What about right now?

There are six videos in the Leading Through the Holiday’s Series. We will release them over the course of the next few months.
I want to leave you with a reminder that you can behave your way to thinking, but you can’t think your way to behaving.
It's the beginning of a new year, and with the reset of the calendar tends to come the onslaught of New Years Resolutions. All those good habits you want to start, and bad habits you want to break- new year, new you! Right?!
You can’t fix your family. We’re coming up on the holidays, and with that comes a lot of time with family. It’s such a gift to be able to spend intentional quality time with those we love- although sometimes, it may seem like a gift that you wish you could return.
The last point for developing a gratitude practice- do it every day. Every. Single. Day. No matter what, no matter where, no matter when, find some time to intentionally practice gratitude however you choose to do that.
That’s right, you heard me correctly. I do want you to grow your leadership by practicing gratitude, but I don’t want you to take the easy way out by giving thanks for the “big” things- like family, health, faith.
