For many years, I mistakenly assumed that because I'd spent the majority of my professional life building companies, conducting sales meetings, and speaking engagements, I was an extrovert. I didn't understand why I needed full recovery days of silence after delivering training courses or a day full of meetings until I realized I was a true introvert trying to pass myself off as an extrovert.

Today, it's not uncommon for me to plan my leaving so that I don't get inundated with party invitations. To protect my energy, I've learned to set kind boundaries and not apologize for being myself. Nothing makes me happier than snuggling up with a blanket, reading, writing, or watching a TV show with my family. In fact, I've discovered that the more time I set aside for self-reflection, the more present and effective I can be in people-oriented events.

I wish I had learned this sooner.
