Priorites, values, strengths

Hi friends! I’ve been feeling a wee bit stressed lately, but I’m trying to let it go and get on with my life. Here’s my pep talk to myself. Maybe it can help you refocus your energies, too.

There’s nothing I can do about what people think about me and my colleagues. Nothing. What I can control — the only thing any one of us can control — is how we act in the world. There is no point in me worrying about anything else. The best thing I can do is refocus on my values, and get clear about my priorities, and go forward using my strengths.

For the rest of this post, check out “Your own priorities, values, and strengths matter most of all” on my University Affairs blog. And let me know what you think. Or if you have a similar pep talk to give yourself!
