Don’t get caught up in little computer difficulties that a colleague can handle on their own. Allow your coworkers to address their own problems by trusting and empowering them. Provide the tools that allow them to succeed on their own. Let your team know that you are there to support them, if they truly need you.

You may not have time for an all-inclusive vacation or all of life's comforts, but that doesn't mean you can't prioritize your health. Do not let stress take hold, remember you can't pour water from an empty cup. Keep connected and take care of yourself first my friend.
