Get In The Game...and, Take Care of Yourself - a podcast by Mike Robbins
from 2020-06-19T16:13:17
Things continue to be incredibly intense in our country and our world these days. And, if we want to make a difference, have impact, and create real change, we have to get in the “game.” In other words, we need to put ourselves out there, take action, and actually do things that align with our values and our desires for change, growth, and success. Doing this takes courage and a willingness to fail. Simultaneously, we can’t be in the game all the time or we will burn ourselves out. We have to take time to rest, re-charge, and rejuvenate, which is something I’ve been struggling with recently, but is so important. We talk about these important dynamics on this episode.
