Self-care: If you feel tired after a busy day, recharge yourself, look within yourself, and feel yourself...

Self-care: Do you often find yourself forced to act enthusiastic in front of your team despite being exhausted from a long day of work, meetings, and other responsibilities? Because you're so exhausted, you can't control your emotions and have to fake it. Consequently, by the end of the day, you feel drained of energy.

If this pattern recurs, it's a sign that you're stuck in a superficial cycle. To break free, it's important to recharge yourself instead of suppressing your emotions. This not only increases productivity but also gives you the courage to face challenging situations. Here are some practical ways to do this.

Be Honest
When you don't feel connected to your team or feel distanced, you may unintentionally resort to faking it. This leads to other team members recognizing your insincere behavior, which diminishes the depth of relationships. Therefore, it's important to give yourself some time.

Afterward, try to connect with people with full energy and a genuine heart. Small activities like talking to a favorite person, reading a book, listening to music, or enjoying nature can be beneficial. This will help you reconnect with your teammates with full enthusiasm and energy, eliminating the need for superficial behavior.

Refresh Yourself
Of course, leaders don't always have time to rest, but a short break of a few minutes is enough. Many people think it's okay to keep working despite fatigue, but in reality, taking a "micro-break" is better for both health and work.

A five-minute break, such as deep breathing, stretching, a short walk, observing beautiful scenery, or joking with someone, refreshes both the mind and heart. Taking such small breaks increases energy and allows you to work better throughout the day.

Approach every situation with a fresh perspective
Recognizing and understanding your emotions is important because it allows you to view each situation from a new perspective, such as interpreting your team's questions as a sign of their interest and dedication. This increases both empathy and understanding, and leads to more positive conversations.

Sharing true emotions is also beneficial because it presents you as an honest and humane leader. This deepens trust and connection within the team. It's also a good way to break the cycle of burnout.
