Just as trees aren't meant to remain stiff and unyielding in the face of a storm, you aren't meant to remain efficient and relaxed in the face of mounting demands. Bending isn't a weakness; it's what you need to do to survive. But it's only your branches that need to bend - your roots need to stay put. Do you know what your roots are? Snuggle up with a cuppa for some arboreal advice from The Academic Imperfectionist.For the 'Identify Your Core Values' exercise mentioned in this episode, click here.To read Julia Butterfly Hill's essay, 'Surviving the Storm: Lessons from Nature', click here.
