Show up for you

When was the last time you showed up for yourself?
Leaders tend to show up for everyone else—the team, the clients, the mission—but often leave their own growth and well-being as an afterthought. But here's the truth: your ability to lead well depends on how well you show up for yourself first. When you prioritize your own growth and your own rest, you lead with more resilience, purpose, and effectiveness.
Today, take a moment to reflect on what you need. Do what fills you up. Get the workout in, read the book, go on the walk, work on the hobby. Show up for yourself—not as an act of self-centeredness, but as an investment in the person who shows up for others every day.
You can’t invest in others if you are on empty. Fill your cup so that you can overflow for others.
