The importance of self-care for your career

Ever heard of burnout?

Yeah it's a real thing, even if you LOVE your career, job, business, or hustle. You will get burnt out if you do not take care of you.

You are the key to your life. This includes your career. We spend more time at work then we do at home. So do not 'remember' to take care of you.

Do it!

For you.

For the career you want.

To be the best.

For your loved ones.

Someone once told me that every experience is relevant to your life. Whether it happens at work, with your parents, with your significant other, kid, on the playground, with a complete stranger. It is an experience you went through. And some stick.

So how could your self-care in your life not be relevant to any of the other pieces of your life? Think about it for a second. Really think.

I will give some examples...

When deadlines are getting tight (or you miss one for crying out loud!) and you need to work overtime every night this week. How does it effect your family? Or how about when your family member gets sick & you have to handle affairs at home. How do you get your work done? Or better yet needing to take leave? How does this work if you own your own business?

Or how about when a tree branch falls on your car & totals it. How are you getting to work or taking your child to school or going to the grocery store? Are you able to get another vehicle? do you have another way to make it work?

The point is. One things, big or small, can have an impact on your life, including your career. So while we strive for that work/life balance, it is to remember that they all tie together in the big picture.

So what are you doing to take care of YOU?

I will share some ideas that have worked for me in my next post. Until then...

Much Success,
