1 Set realistic goals

One of the first steps to take care of yourself is to set realistic and attainable goals for your work and personal life. You may have a lot of expectations and demands from yourself and others, but you also have limited time and energy. Instead of trying to do everything, focus on the most important and urgent tasks. Break down your goals into smaller and specific actions that you can track and measure. Use tools like calendars, planners, or apps to help you organize your schedule and deadlines. And don't forget to celebrate your achievements and reward yourself for your hard work.

As a program coordinator, I often face high levels of anxiety.?? It can lead to overthinking and unnecessary worry. However, my therapist taught me to view it positively – expecting the worst can actually help me stay calm and solve problems effectively. That's why people often perceive me as calm, even though internally, it's like riding a roller coaster. One thing I've learned is to share responsibilities with others and use breathing techniques to relax. Lastly, talking to others, including my team, about my difficulties has proven to be magical – they often offer insightful ideas that I hadn't considered. ??

Realistic goals don't mean the easiest one, the goals must be challenging but can be realized. Most of the time people get stressed because they are setting unrealistic goals .

2 Delegate and collaborate

Another way to take care of yourself is to delegate and collaborate with others. You don't have to do everything on your own. You can leverage the skills, expertise, and perspectives of your team members, colleagues, or partners. You can also ask for help or feedback when you need it. Delegating and collaborating can help you save time, improve quality, and reduce errors. It can also help you build trust, rapport, and teamwork. Moreover, it can help you learn from others and develop your own skills as a program coordinator.

Knowing that you are limited as human beings is self care. You need to be smart enough to know the potential of other people whom you can collaborate and delegate some of the tasks .

3 Establish boundaries

A third way to take care of yourself is to establish boundaries between your work and personal life. You may feel tempted or pressured to work long hours, respond to emails or calls at any time, or take on more tasks than you can handle. But this can lead to stress, fatigue, and resentment. You need to set limits and communicate them clearly to others. You need to respect your own time, space, and needs. You need to say no when necessary and avoid overcommitting yourself. You also need to make time for yourself, your family, your friends, and your hobbies. You need to recharge your batteries and enjoy your life.

4 Manage stress

A fourth way to take care of yourself is to manage stress effectively. Stress is inevitable in any job, especially in program coordination. You may face challenges, conflicts, or uncertainties that can affect your mood, performance, or health. But you can learn to cope with stress in healthy ways. You can practice relaxation techniques, such as breathing, meditation, or yoga. You can exercise regularly, eat well, and sleep enough. You can express your emotions, vent to someone you trust, or seek professional help if needed. You can also adopt a positive mindset, focus on the solutions, and embrace change.

There’s no point finding time, you must make time. Book it in like an appointment. Be very intentional about protecting time to engage in activities that de-stress you.

5 Keep learning

A fifth way to take care of yourself is to keep learning and growing as a program coordinator. You may have a lot of experience and knowledge in your field, but you can always improve your skills and expand your horizons. You can seek new opportunities, challenges, or projects that can stimulate your creativity and curiosity. You can attend training, workshops, or webinars that can enhance your competencies and qualifications. You can read books, articles, or blogs that can inspire you and keep you updated on the latest trends and best practices. You can also network with other program coordinators, mentors, or experts who can support you and share their insights and advice.

As a Leader you don't know everything, you need to be open minded by learning, unlearning and keep on learning. Things nowadays are changing at the speed of light, Yesterday's fact must not be relevant today. Keep learning

6 Have fun

A sixth and final way to take care of yourself is to have fun and enjoy your work as a program coordinator. You may have a lot of responsibilities and pressures, but you also have a lot of rewards and satisfaction. You can make a positive impact, create value, and deliver results. You can work on diverse and interesting projects and activities. You can collaborate with amazing and talented people. You can also showcase your creativity, leadership, and problem-solving skills. You can find meaning and purpose in your work. And you can have fun along the way, by adding some humor, playfulness, and appreciation to your daily routine.

One thing I have found helpful in my busy schedule is to make sure and set aside designated time to recharge. This way even if I get so busy at work and forget to take time to recharge myself, it's already built into my schedule.
