I'm both on most days. Gotta have a shower in the morning to wake up. If I have energy at all at night I'll have a shower just before bed after bringing the dogs out.
A human. A mother. A solver. A superwoman. This isn't Star Wars, I don't have a deathstar, but I will attempt to blast your traditional view of the sales/exec relationship into extra dimensional space
A connection of mine recently shared the below and it got my brain spinning, because I think this goes way deeper than screen time and into the darkness of mental health and contorted notions of success.
You see, many of us are taught that you should always be working, driving towards greatness, constantly be relevant...which has led to this notion of constantly connected, always ready to respond so that we aren't forgotten. This idea resonates in sales as we are told, "there are no set hours" and "the first 60 minutes after a client sends you something are crucial to respond or you will be beaten to the punch".
The second part of this is I think it isn't about just the reconnect from screens that happens in the shower, for many of us, the 10 minutes we have in the shower is the only time our body and mind has to stop spinning, the rush of the water is cathartic and allows us to breathe and our brian to reshuffle and reconnect with parts of itself that have been silenced and not utilized to solve the current work, life or family crisis.
Lastly, and this goes to a post Jon Santee made about drinking and a comment ☀️ Amy Stokes-Waters made about it's effect on getting the creative juices flowing (2 glasses of wine opens the brain. There is a name for this, I'm blanking), is that alcohol has become Americans way of self prescribed medicine for the mental health issues we are told should remain hidden in the closet. Have social anxiety, drink; Need to decompress, drink; Want to have fun but are so wound up; drink....
So the question becomes...why has this become the social norm; the pushing of the "must always be in full drive, hide your mental health and then drink to fit in" like noone else is dealing with the same issues you are. Whose created this cycle and how do we all collectively break it?
