Happy Equinox!! Welcome to the Spring 2024 Season of Self-Compassionate Professor!
First, I talk about how honoring the change of seasons invites a more intentional approach to work and life generally: 1) helps us to see beyond the academic calendar, 2) opens us to a sense of spaciousness, 3) gives us a sense of "punctuation" between seasons, 4) gives us permission to let go and let the seasons inform our timelines, and 5) anchors our daily, weekly, and monthly planning in seasonal goals, strengthening our commitment to seasonal goals.
Secondly, I discuss the importance of detoxing (broadly defined) during early spring so as to ready yourself for the season.
