There’s no doubt: These past four months have taken a toll on us all. This has been especially true for CEOs who have been putting on brave faces for their teams in the wake of unprecedented economic turmoil and ongoing uncertainty. As Greg Brenneman said, “the job of leaders is to absorb fear and exude hope.” But this is exhausting.

You’ve been carrying the weight of your company around, fighting for short-term survival and looking for long-term opportunities to secure the future of the company. It has required a brand-new executive tool kit — more effective communications with your team and customers, a new level of empathy, rethinking the customer experience and so much more. You may be feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated or just simply worn out. Someone recently compared it to PTSD.

What if it’s time for a CEO Recharge — a way to focus on your health and well-being and build stamina for the long challenge that still lies ahead. Can you take time to turn off the noise, step away from your business and find a way to completely unplug? You’d likely come back refreshed, reenergized and excited to resume your role leading the team through the unknown ahead.

If you can’t get away, you can still focus on self-care and the four most important pillars of health and wellness.

Nutrition – fueling our bodies with the right foods and having proper hydration

Sleep – stress management and stamina builder

Exercise – movement to increase your physical strength

Mindfulness — meditation or other forms of mental unwinding

We don’t know how long COVID-19 will last; but it will end. We will make it to the other side, an economic rebound is almost certain, and your company will be grateful for the example you set as the leader in focusing on your own physical and mental well-being.
