Women in leadership roles - what activities or outlets do you utilise as a release from the pressures of your role?

Alison's Contribution:

Great Question!

TM, Yoga and Bridge/Super Sudokus are my solutions. TM helps me get the extra "rest" I need to focus and recharge. Yoga builds strength and flexibility. Bridge/Sudokus give me a mental break - I like puzzles.

Other women I know have different solutions ranging from community participation, church involvement, Pilates, etc. For others, a session at a health/hair/nail salon seems to do them a world of good.

As Regina has mentioned, the shift in balance is something you need to recognise. I think many women forget to make time for themselves and suffer from a lack of identity separate from the "me at work" / "me as a mother/wife".

Hope this helps.
