Where are my workaholics at??

Whether you work for a company, or doing this all on your own, I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in work. You love what you do, so you mind is always on getting sh$t done. Or you need the money, so you hustle nonstop. Or you have little to no work-life balance, so you feel guilty doing anything outside of work. OR you’re just a fun mix bag of all the above, like me

I absolutely know how important self care is for mental & physical health, but the way my mind works, being a hard worker is way higher on the list. So what does one do when their balance of the two is way off??

Self-Care

Pick one self care activity and DO IT. Like actually stick to it and not guilt yourself out of it. *louder for those in the back, but mainly for myself*. Going to the gym / Making a home cooked meal / Taking an hour away from your phone / etc. is OK.

Time for Yourself

Take a freaking day off. Just one. Binge Netflix, grab coffee with a friend, go for a hike...just turn your work brain off for a day.

Take a Trip

Get away. Plan a quick weekend somewhere close or set a goal for a larger trip within the next year that you can look forward to.

I know it’s hard to rationalize sometimes, but think of your brain like a phone; what happens when you leave it running all day? It dies. Or what about when you use it constantly in general? Your phone overheats, starts malfunctioning and needs to be replaced sooner than necessary.

Y'ALL. We don’t get another brain. We don’t get to turn it in for a newer model. If you’re feeling brain fog, forgetfulness, stressed out, tired, etc. take that as a sign you need to charge up on self care!
