The New Reality has introduced huge amounts of change in our lives and leadership. Many of us have navigated this well, but we’re tired. Really tired.
We’ve talked a lot about physical hygiene the past few months, but on this episode J.R. talks about mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual hygiene practices to make sure we stay healthy. He offers these 8 practices.

1. Stay active
2. Rest well – not just sleeping, but also playing
3. Be grateful – gratitude journal
4. Engage in the "What’s in my control/not in my control?" exercise
5. Keep learning
6. Unplug regularly
7. Set small achievable goals
8. Be real (when you are not well, tell others)
