\"The
The North Shore is one of Katie’s happy places…where is yours?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We all need a personal strategy to de-stress. For Katie French, Administrative Fellow at Regions Hospital, her sanctuary is in nature. \u201cIf I get anxious, my friends ask \u2018when was the last time you\u2019ve been outside?\u2019 They know what I need!\u201d Whether she\u2019s rock climbing in Yosemite or taking a more meditative hour in the woods, Katie uses the outdoors as a tool to ground herself \u2013 and while she\u2019s out there, she\u2019s frequently thinking about how to keep improving her Seven Fs Wheel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Outdoor Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Katie had an \u201caha\u201d moment in Good Leadership Training<\/a>. She shared with me, \u201cOne of the Training facilitators pointed out that what you spend time and money on is indicative of what you prioritize.\u201d She had always known she loved the outdoors, but when she looked at how much time and money she invested into hiking, camping, and outdoor activities, Katie finally named nature as one of her main priorities. \u201cUnderstanding myself better through Training has actually helped me relate to other people better: even if someone\u2019s priorities are really different from mine, I can now imagine how that person values how they spend their time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI call my time outside my \u2018outdoor therapy,\u2019\u201d Katie explains. \u201cBeing challenged gives me energy, so I challenge myself outside.\u201d In just a few weeks, she\u2019s hiking part of the Pacific Crest Trail by herself. She\u2019s approaching it as continual meditation \u2013 a way to reflect on the goodness in her life, all while adding more good experiences. \u201cTo be a good leader, you have to be positive. People want to work with happy people.\u201d And her time in the wilderness keeps her happy.<\/p>\n

\"Katie's
Katie’s phone alarm is her reminder to stay positive every day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prioritizing positivity helped Katie in the professional world, too. \u201cEvery day of Training was so\u00a0uplifting,\u00a0so now I try to bring that to my job.\u201d She makes an effort to find the benefits of having an uncomfortable conversation, or stay positive about solving a problem. And, she\u2019s thinking about how she spends her time at work: \u201cI\u2019ve started to sit down at the beginning of each day and decide what needs to be done, and what\u00a0can wait. It\u2019s helped me be more productive, and also reminds me that I do have time for things I used to ignore, like networking.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Nightly Reminder<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 9 p.m. every night, Katie\u2019s phone buzzes with a reminder to think about three positive things that happened during the day. It\u2019s one way Katie blends the Seven Fs, a tool to measure satisfaction in Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, Friends, Fun, and Future. She reflects back on funny or charming moments, and frequently encourages her friends to do so, too \u2013 blending Fun and Friends. And if she\u2019s alone, it can be a spiritual exercise and a reminder to stay positive tomorrow \u2013 blending Faith and Future. \u201cSome people say, seriously, you do that? But I shared this nightly practice with the other professionals in Training, and they were so receptive and excited to try it themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Katie
Katie and her friends went on a mountaineering trip to Alaska – next year, Mt. Rainier!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Katie keeps her Goodness Badge<\/a> in her office as a reminder to think about the Seven Fs during the day, too. \u201cThe pressures of life fluctuate, so my Seven Fs Wheel falls short in different places at different times. But I\u2019m always trying to strengthen it.\u201d And she\u2019s turning back to nature to keep supporting goodness in\u00a0her life \u2013 she hasn\u2019t even left for the Pacific Crest Trail, and she\u2019s already planning to climb Mount Rainier next year!<\/p>\n

Good leaders know what helps them de-stress, and they share those strategies with people close to them. And they set up constant reminders to focus on goodness.<\/p>\n
