#CelebrateMonday
December 17, 2018
Sometimes I feel like the things that need my attention (and energy, and brain, and heart) need far more than I have the capacity to give.
It's especially important for me, during the times when I begin to feel defeated by all of those things, that I take a moment to breathe and to lean on those around me. It is imperative for the staff and students we serve that we finish out this semester strong!
We don't have to let the weight of these last few days weigh us down! We do not have to be stoic leaders! We do not have to behave a manner that we THINK the world expects from us!
The world is more fun and it is so much better if we challenge the status quo a little bit and engage in the unexpected! It will lighten our hearts and brighten the days of others.
And it can be simple! Maybe all you need to do is try a little dancing! You'll feel better when you're dancing! (Even if you can only watch for a few seconds - it's worth it - you'll feel better watching the dancing!)
Or catch someone who is bringing the enthusiasm and capitalize on it! Soak it up - enjoy it!
We deserve it! Get out there and have some fun! Your staff will catch the enthusiasm bug and they will pass it along to your students!
Immersing in the enthusiasm will definitely make this the best Monday of the week!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
Cheers!
