The nonprofit sector is doing such important work, and it can be very heavy, particularly when you remain grounded in the realities of the communities you seek to serve. Just as you seek to improve our community’s wellbeing (whether it be housing or education or healthcare), it is important to prioritize your own wellbeing (for yourself and your team). It might require some flexibility to think about how you can manage this, particularly if you are a small organization and might not feel like you can take time off, but we are all much more effective when we are well. We can also think more strategically when we have a moment to step back and reflect. Our wellbeing is connected to our effectiveness.
