204. Reduce Stress By Taking Time For You

Key Takeaways-Many CEOs and entrepreneurs often operate under extremely high stress levels, which can become unsustainable over time.-Despite efforts to maintain health through exercise and wellness practices, leaders frequently overlook the importance of taking time for themselves.-Taking intentional breaks and allowing oneself moments of stillness is crucial for mental and physical well-being.-Leaders should be proactive in recognizing when their energy is low and take breaks before reaching a point of depletion. This involves setting a new "floor" for their energy levels, rather than waiting until they are completely drained.-Implementing small, manageable changes in daily routines—such as scheduling breaks, creating gaps in the calendar, or taking short walks—can significantly reduce stress and improve overall productivity and happiness.Join The “Now” Newsletter: https://now.katierichardson.com/newsletterAbout Katie Richardson:Katie, once a girl who just liked to have fun, transformed into a globally recognized designer and entrepreneur.
