INSIGHT

The Dam Analogy

We are like dams, controlling the flow of energy through us.
We excel at outputting, getting things done, but often neglect the inflow, self-care.

ADVICE

Recognizing Energy Depletion

Assess your overall feeling and identify signs of running on empty like short responses and lack of excitement.
Assume you aren't taking good enough care of yourself and find small self-care actions.

ADVICE

Micro-Resilience

Practice micro-resilience with small, frequent self-care activities like short walks or deep breaths.
Even 15 minutes of self-care daily adds up to significant time over a year.
