Yesterday, Aliza Sherman and I shared some insights from our forthcoming book “The Happy Healthy Nonprofit,” a work in progress. During the one-hour free webinar hosted by Wild Apricot, we share some ideas, got feedback, and identified additional people and organizations to interview for the book.
While our book focuses on both what individuals can do and how organization’s can support it, we wanted to share some practical tips and techniques for individuals that worked at nonprofits to get more energy for 2016! We also set up a Facebook Group to continue the discussion on self-care for nonprofits.
Our session covered these topics:
- Why you need to take care of yourself so your organization can deliver on its mission
- How to shift from a chronic state of stress to a chronic state of self-care
- How small changes in individual mindset and tiny habits can help your nonprofit, association or membership organization make a big, positive and sustainable impact
The Practices:
- Create A Self Care Bill of Rights
- Understand and Apply Habit Change Frameworks
- Get Enough Sleep
- Get Moving
- Embrace Mindfulness
- Manage Your Energy and Attention
- Integrate Tech Wellness
- Stop Procrastination
- Set Limits
- Create Your Self-Care Plan
