From Stress to Success

Always keep work and relaxation in proportion.

I’m sitting at my favourite table at my local Starbucks, wondering, “what just happened.”

This time of the year is hectic in the public service. But I’m a seasoned veteran now. I know the cycle well, and I know how to cope. It’s a matter of doubling down on everything for a short time.

The problem is that I needed to double down on everything. These last few weeks, I’ve doubled my work effort but not my stress relief routines.

Focusing on what is causing your stress seems obvious when stressful situations occur. But it is far more critical to double down on what makes you happy.

Address the issues and put out the fires, YES, but afterwards, relax. It is your key to success. For those like me who forgot this lesson, it’s time to rejuvenate. Just another month before it all goes back to normal.
