It was during a hectic conference in Singapore last year that I stumbled upon Dr. Anita Mo\instead, she shared raw stories from her decades as a wellness coach for Fortune 500 leaders. One tale stuck with me: a CEO who collapsed from burnout but rebuilt his life through tiny, intentional habits. That\they\but Dr. Mo digs deeper into why it fails. She points to neuroscience—our brains default to survival mode under pressure, shutting down creativity and health. Her fix? Micro-rituals. Start with five minutes of morning silence, no phone, just breathing. I\at first, it felt silly amid emails piling up. But over weeks, that sliver of calm rewired my focus. It\and it\as a superpower, not selfishness. In one session, she described a client who learned to say no to non-essential meetings, freeing up space for deep work and family. I\in my calendar, treating them as sacred. It’s tough at first—guilt creeps in—but over time, it builds respect from colleagues and reduces overwhelm. Dr. Mo also champions connection, even in small doses. A quick coffee chat or virtual check-in can combat isolation, which she links to higher burnout rates. Her research-backed mantra? \it\Start small, be kind to yourself, and let these strategies compound. I\your future self will thank you.
