Take 5 minutes to recharge your social battery
A 5-Minute Practice to Recharge Your Social Battery If the link to play the video above isn't working, click here to watch. I'm curious, Reader ... what size social battery do YOU have? My personal battery's capacity is pretty small (like AAA equivalent) and needs frequent recharging. Social situations and interacting with large numbers of people leaves me feeling drained. Perhaps that's why working from home suits me so well? If you're an introvert like me, you know the importance of resetting and recharging. And if you're an extroverted "people person," you, too, need to take care of yourself and recharge your battery to be at your best. That's why I'm sharing today's video meditation to help you enjoy connecting with others ... something we all crave yet don't always have the "battery power" for. And while this may be more noticeable at the holidays, it applies year-round. So I hope you'll use this 5-minute mindful breathing practice to ground and balance you whenever you need it. As always, I'd love to know what you think of this week's newsletter. Post your thoughts on social and tag me (@coachmichelepeterson), or simply reply to this email! Thank you. I appreciate you! xoxo, Now for more good stuff ...

Your Best Resources Need a Better Assignment Hey Reader, There are only so many hours in the day when your brain is doing its best work. Only so much creative energy. Only so much emotional bandwidth. Only so many people, projects, opportunities, and ideas you can care deeply about at the same time. We know this. And yet, as entrepreneurs, we can behave as though the goal is to somehow manufacture enough of ourselves for everything. Maybe if we get more organized. Find the right app. Wake up...
Would Your Best Employee Want to Work for You? Hey Reader, Imagine you’ve hired the best employee you’ve ever had. She’s smart. Dependable. Creative. Resourceful. Clients trust her. She knows the business inside and out. Frankly, you’d be in trouble if she left. Now let’s examine her working conditions. Lunch? Sometimes — although eating at the kitchen counter while answering email apparently counts. Vacation? Absolutely! As long as she keeps an eye on her inbox. Working hours? Very flexible....
It's Harvest and The Vineyard Isn’t Panicking Hey Reader, This time of year, harvest has its own infrastructure at our house. There’s a laundry hamper in the garage for crush-pad clothes stiff with sweat, grape juice, and pomace. My winemaker husband keeps extra clothes in his car — including multiple pairs of socks — because after enough harvests, you learn what the season can ask of you. It all looks very active once the grape trucks start arriving. But here’s the thing: The harvest didn’t...
