Hey Stress, Let's Talk

Last week I had the privilege of meeting and working with 700 educators who gathered to strengthen their professional skills and resilience. One of my sessions was, unsurprisingly, about burnout.

This week there is a day on my calendar called Yom HaShoah. It’s the day on which Jews remember the destruction of 6 million Jewish souls in the Holocaust. This day in April(ish) each year, is distinct from International Holocaust Remembrance Day. That one falls in January and honors the memory of the estimated 11-17 million people murdered in the Holocaust. Which begs the question – why do we have a separate day?

When you find yourself balancing on the tipping point between resentment and resilience – and if you don’t know what I mean, read this – you don’t have to be brilliant. You don’t have to be the bigger person. You don’t have to take everyone’s feelings and perspectives into account. Just ask yourself one question: What’s best for Tomorrow Me?
