What do you do if you're a Thought Leader facing burnout and need to prioritize self-care?

Burnt out thought leader here. Recharging for re-ignition! Offline oasis: Take a break! Social media detox, it's self-care, not a punishment. Content creation cruise control: Repurpose past wins, delegate tasks. My brain needs a vacation too! Sleep, glorious sleep: Catch those Zzzs. A well-rested thought leader is a brilliant thought leader. Passion project power-up: Revisit hobbies, recharge my creative engine. Maybe juggling flaming chainsaws (with proper safety precautions, of course!) Prioritize self first: Exercise, healthy food - gotta replenish the tank. Self-care isn't selfish, it's strategic! A refreshed me = a return of the amazing thought leader you know and love.

Acknowledge burnout by recognizing its impact on your performance and well-being. Focus on key relationships and high-impact initiatives, and delegate tasks where possible. Allocate time efficiently, leveraging technology to streamline processes. Openly communicate your challenges and needs with stakeholders, and regularly reassess and adjust your approach. Make self-care a priority to maintain a sustainable work-life balance and ensure long-term effectiveness.

In my honest opinion establishing clear boundaries and learning to saying no to new commitments, managing email time, and taking regular breaks helps in preventing burnout and preserves energy for effective leadership.

Self-care is important for all of us, and the key word in the phrase is 'self'. Self-care requires that we take personally inventory of what we need for our self, this is personal and should not be dictated. Cultivating a consistent daily practice of self-care is key to ensure it is made a priority. And when made a priority in ones life, benefits will soon be seen.

When COVID hit and the world shut down, I found myself ill and unable to access a Doctor for a prescription. At that point in time though I was under 65, and hadn't travelled abroad, so all was good, less the ability to obtain an antibiotic. I found myself soon connecting with biohackers across the planet, the types that repair burnt out executives. Through this innovative approach I discovered a blend of new and old, modern tech and ancient principles. And in the process I discovered a unique community of like-minded innovative souls, and I learned that I had been biohacking for over a decade, I just hadn't been familiar with the term.
