And it's like low levels.

And so some days I'm like, why am I so stressed?

And perhaps because it's everything happening in the world.

And then it shows up in these moments.

One of the things I believe is the foundation to good leadership is to take care of yourself.

And so taking those moments to stay off social media, taking those moments to make sure.

I mean, it is the conversation around anti-hustle culture.

Listen, I have a book coming out.

It's come out.

I'm in an intense drive period of my life.

But as leaders, we have to be able to drive our teams through those drive periods and then rest.

I'm not an Uber app.

I can't be on demand 24 seven.

And so this idea that they're, you know, in those moments where I'm resting and recharging, I'm taking care of myself.

I'm sleeping well, I'm exercising, I'm drinking water, I'm taking walks, all of those things that help replenish me.

And so in those moments of stress, are you doing those things?

Like if I'm feeling stressed, I'm just going to go out for a walk.

I'm going to put on some dance music and have a silly dance party with my kids.

What are those moments that I can reconnect with myself and spark joy?

And if we don't take care of ourselves, I don't know how we're expected to take care of each other in our workplaces or in our communities.
