Working so hard is really hard on a person, and on a team. And it's not sustainable over the long-haul. It's great that you are finding ways to rejuvenate and re-center amidst the madness. I am also working many hours and feeling the work is never done, and I'm really struggling some days to find that center! Fortunately I love my work, and have a lot of creativity. But even the best jobs result in burn-out if there isn't a break!

It sounds like you're really in touch with the fact that your team needs to be encouraged and to have the opportunity to breathe and relax. Good luck as you lead them to greatness!
