Managing Stress - Daily

Is your career stressful?  Is your day meaningful? 

Loved this 5 part structure to think about how to engage in each day to give it meaning by Harvard Physician Dr. Aditi Nerurkar.

Dr. Nerurkar’s tells people to “live a lifetime in one day”

When she described what she meant – I had to agree and wanted to share.

Because careers and life can be stressful

…and we can always benefit from listening and reflecting on what thought leaders have to say

So here is what she shared….

Do this every day.

1) Spend time in childhood – lean into your sense of wonder & curiosity & play

2) Do work that gives you meaning (to get a sense of productivity – that you can do difficult things) 

3) Spend time in solitude – (it is where great thinking can happen)

4) Spend time in community & engage with others

5) Be a retiree – spend time reflecting on your day  

Careers can be stressful so having routines or structures to help you are important.

How does your day measure up?

Are there some adjustments you could make to help drive more meaning (and less stress)
