Leaders: It’s Time To Get Your Inner ROAR On!

Spread the love

Moving through a dense fog can be disorienting enough. But when the fog doesn’t clear quickly, it’s easy to feel overwhelm, especially when we miss our turnoff, or several turnoffs. Over time, the mind grows numb, floating from one crisis to another. Others may be fearful about the future, especially when we feel we have no control over what’s happening around us. As leaders, we can’t stop. We must push through regardless of our own burnout or inability to see into the future. What about your nights…sleeping well?

Did the global crisis spoil your cheese?

Have you been kicked in the chops by a weakened economy?

Have you’ve grown weary of the broken status quo?

Have you had enough of others deciding your destiny?

The lioness walks another path. For it is in the unseen that they see more clearly. Welcome to finding your inner ROAR.

What do I mean by ROAR?

Like many, I too have experienced personal heartbreaking loss this year. At the same time, I have also faced unexpected professional career transition and economic challenges. While there may be things not fair or that we can’t control…there are things we can do.

To me, roar means:

To rise. To overcome. To activate. To regenerate.

No. Matter. What.

ROAR. No matter what happens in the headlines. No matter what happens in the economy. No matter what happens with COVID-19. No matter what happens in the workplace, stores, or in your own backyard. No matter what circumstances surround us…you can decide to ROAR.

I’ve chosen this image of a lioness laying in the field of grass to show that we all have the ability to tap into our inner roar. The lioness lays there quietly watching with her golden eyes all that surrounds her. You know, just by looking at her,the power she has to take on whatever she sees. The opinions of others don’t define her value or presence in the world. She doesn’t have to justify herself or seek permission to advance. She has the ability to fiercely care, mentor and protect her cubs…and she does. She represents not just courage and strength, but also intuition, self-confidence, standing tall with head held high. She represents the inner ROAR we all have to tap into. No. Matter. What.

How to Activate Your inner ROAR

Rise

You can rise from anything. You can completely recreate yourself.
You acknowledge nothing is permanent. You are not stuck.
You have choices. You can learn or try something new. You can create new habits. You can set new goals and achieve new things.
All that matters, is you decide to rise today and never look back.

Your assignment:

From this moment on -- commit to personal growth. Set a new standard for yourself. You are still here walking the earth…acknowledge you have a purpose to fulfill. You are here to push pass your own limits and be better than yesterday. It’s time to let go of the former you, the former habits, the former excuses. It’s time…to get back up and move forward.

Overcome

Challenge accepted. You are greater than the challenges before you.
You are flexible and resilient. You can adapt.
You can apply creative thinking. You can find alternate strategies or solutions.
You can challenge the status quo with courage.

Your assignment:

There is a fire within you. Use it to ignite a flame of positive impact.

Activate

Not only can you create a plan, but you can execute on it. You can engage and implement solutions.
You know when the time is right to act.
You will not allow the opinions of others to stop you from progressing in your life and career.
You can self-empower, and take action regardless of your circumstances.

Your Assignment:

No time to shrink. Set a new goal. Then get up, get out, and get ‘er done! Shock them with results.

Regenerate

Even a lion knows when it’s time to rest. We each need to re-energize. And we do so in our own way. We must regenerate so that we can overcome crisis fatigue and extreme burnout.

You are a leader of self. You are self-aware.
You can engage in self-care and re-energize.
You are the authority of your growth and destiny.
You can find inner peace in the midst of chaos.

Your assignment: Adopt one new self-care practice. Turn it into a habit and bust your burnout.
