Last year was great in so many ways and then not so great in a few other ways, especially toward the end of the year. I observed so much grief and loss, I felt like I had to cheerlead my way out of 2016. Several clients called me with big concerns over the funding trends that might be headed our way in the nonprofit industry and the shake up and uncertainty of it all created a ton of anxiety. Everywhere!
But, there are so many other ways to reward our difficult work in the nonprofit arena and over the break I made a short list. This is what I think will work for me, and I encourage you all to try and create your own list. Always open to ideas, so send those on to me as well!
Here are my book choices for this month!
* Listen to music or at the very least an audio book, when I find myself sliding to the dark side and wanting to watch some stupid television show to escape.
* Go watch a sunset with my pup and significant other, which means time at the beach!
* Spend time on Pinterest or Instagram – Down the rabbit hole of interesting visual design. Plus I just write it off as “Research” on what is or is not working in visual social media marketing! LOL!
Keep up that balance Career Mamma!
