“ Stress is a normal physical response to challenging situations and it can actually be a positive reaction which allows you to accomplish amazing things . But we often fall into a cycle of perfectionism and decide we ’ ll feel better and start taking care of ourselves once we ’ re perfect . We need to stop the cycle by pausing , reassessing and regrouping , set your mantra and flip the script .”

“ It ’ s hard to focus on maintaining and building relationships , but connection has never been more important . People want to know they ’ re safe and supported . By increasing your connection , you ’ re forming stronger relationships with your clients and it ’ ll
increase the satisfaction you have in your role , even when it ’ s challenging .”
