In the fast pace of Extension work, it’s easy to blur the lines between professional and personal time. But sustainable impact starts with personal well-being.
This week, let’s focus on protecting time for rest, renewal, and reflection—because taking care of yourself is taking care of your work.
🔑 Key Insight:
Burnout doesn’t come from doing too much, it comes from doing too much without pausing to refuel.
✅ Quick Action Step:
Pick one way to intentionally disconnect this week:
- Schedule a walk or movement break
- Block time for reflection or mindfulness
- Plan an upcoming day off—and protect it
Then, commit to one small self-care habit you can repeat daily.
