Doing Our Best
Re-centering, staying well, and team appreciation
Let’s All Take a Deep Breath
Whelp. There’s no fun way to say it: current events feel prettttty crazy right now. No matter where you live, it sure ain’t easy trying to go about “business as usual” with war, economic shifts, conflicted leaders, health concerns… It’s almost like we’re all sitting at our computers, going: “Damn, 2022. What’s next?”
When the collective heart of humanity feels afraid, we must take breaks and try to center ourselves as individuals (and as a community). When everything feels out of control, the best we can do is live one day at a time, managing the things we can control.
Like where we give our attention. How we care for ourselves. What boundaries we uphold with others. Who we are in life and business.
Bosses can’t be superheroes, but we can each utilize what we have to improve the world in ways we can. Even if it’s only the small, nearby pockets of reality we can reach, starting with our bodies, minds, and closest peers.
You’re doing the best you can, boss, and we see you. So for this week’s edition of Brewed, we’re sharing little stabilizing tips that encourage strength, wellness, and sanity. Virtual hugs all around.
