32: Balance the Metaphorical Teeter Totter

Mt. Nebo Leadership Podcast: Leaders Lift

04-10-2023 • 29 mins

Summary

This last week I have been wrestling with a few topics I believe are related. For all of them, it's about finding a good middle ground versus going to extremes. So this week's episode is about the balance forcing things and being complacent, self care vs. just powering thru and then working on the guilt that comes when you don't go full throttle all the time. Join me for the conversation.

Key Takeaways

It's very easy to go to extremes in any of these areas but that is generally not the answer.
The problem with forcing things is that we make mistakes and quite often we make things worse.
The problem with complacency is that there is no growth and we have a hard time seeing the train wreck that may be coming.
Self care requires a good balance because it can make things much better or much worse.
If you need some self care, identify the key things that must be done right now vs. those that can wait.
If you feel guilty for not going all out all the time, don't.
Easier said than done so it's something you need to work on.
