What’s your guilty little secret?

Sustainability, be it personal or professional, always involves nourishment. Women are not great at meeting their own needs before those of others. Women who juggle professional pressures alongside kids or the needs of elderly parents in their personal worlds, are particularly bad at squashing self care into the mix.

Frankly speaking this leads to burnout. We cannot be all things to all people all of the time, but, we sure as hell try don’t we!

So what nourishes you? Is it an hour sitting in a coffee shop, people watching, whilst gathering your thoughts? Is it leaving responsibility behind and sharing dinner and news with a girlfriend? Is it engaging with regular mentoring sessions or clinical supervision in order that professional dilemmas can be resolved and set down and you can walk free? Is it a sneaky shoe purchase that enables to you walk tall? Is it lying in a sun-soaked meadow, absorbing beauty? Or is it time, with a book, uninterrupted for an hour?

Most of these things don’t cost a great deal, the trick is in the decision to put the time aside for yourself, regularly, to do what you need.
