🔥 Health in, hustle out: In Community #57

In partnership with

🙌🏽 Welcome to In Community.

Let’s face it – we’re at an inflection point in our culture. We all feel it.

And as an organization, Hue has felt it too, with our nonprofit work at greater risk than ever.

With exceptionally limited resources, we’ve provided access to ~$150 million in economic opportunities and provided mental health and coaching for more than 5,000 people. But nonprofit work requires funding.

Take just 1 minute to show your support. I promise you – it makes a meaningful difference if you do.

Let’s get into this week’s focus:

This year, health is in, and hustle is out.

When I wrote about justice being served in my last newsletter, I focused on deliberate disruption.

Hustle culture is something most of us have had deeply ingrained in us over the years. It’s shaped our views of what success looks like. It’s shaped our understanding of what normal looks like.

Isn’t it about time to disrupt that?

As the last year came to an end, I told myself I’d use the holiday time to reflect. If you’re anything like me though, the hectic holiday season didn’t give much room for reflection. The holidays have become part of our hustle culture too.

Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying you shouldn’t make moves or move fast where it matters. What I’m saying is that sometimes you can use the reminder to ask yourself what matters most.

We’re often told to do more, go faster, go bigger, or say yes. It leads to stress, miscommunication, missed goals, and burnout.

👉🏽 What if this time around, you start slow and stay steady? Not because slow and steady wins the race, but because it isn’t a race at all.

👉🏽 What if you don’t pursue growth in the hustle, but you pursue it in your health instead?

👉🏽 What if you focus on balance, clear communication, and saying no if it’s not on the shortlist for what matters most?

Now is the perfect time to take steps to deeply ingrain a culture of health and wellbeing into everything you do, both at work and at home.

It doesn’t have to be massive changes. In fact, part of why new year’s resolutions don’t stick is because they’re often large leaps instead of small steps.

Reminder: small steps still move us forward.

The smallest waterdrops can cause ripples that spread far and wide.

👉🏽 What small steps can you take in your morning routine to feel less harried?

👉🏽 What small steps can you take to improve your diet over the course of a week?

👉🏽 What small steps can you take to ensure your energy at work stays productive and positive without tipping over into politics or pessimism?

Every step moves you forward.
