Episode 2138: Shana Olmstead shares five practical ways to protect your own energy through a workday, starting with a twenty-minute morning routine and honest boundaries with your employer. She explains how hourly check-ins and kinder self-talk keep stress from quietly building all day, and why the small reminders you keep at your desk matter more than you would think for real work-life balance. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://shanaolmstead.com/2019/09/16/energy-management-at-work/ Quotes to ponder: "The only one that can take care of you better than anyone else, is you!"
