I try to be really mindful and aware of my physical and mental health! That way I know when to prioritize work or self care activities. I find that a healthy balance, and the ability to pivot between sections of my life, is the only thing that works for me! 💕

Actually, I’m a work in progress regarding putting myself first. I will say this though…as a manager, I lead by example and will not ask my team to do something that I won’t do.

This has become a spiritual challenge for me. As a Christian, I'm commanded to treat others better than myself. How is this even possible? So, every chance I get I'm storing up what makes me smile.

A better question might be why many companies make people feel as though they prioritize profits over basic employee physical and emotional well-being. Happy, healthy employees are productive employees.

It takes a lot for me to learn how to ask for help. I now know it's important for me to express what I don't know and show room to grow.

Taking a break is very important. I never really stopped working until I sacrificed my health...

I'm getting better to know where to draw the line so I don't get pushed too hard

I work in the oil fields of west texas, I work a 14days on and 7 days off schedule, i am away from home during that time, I know a lot of people that work in there days off, and they burn out quickly, my work days are 12 to 14 hr days, of course being away from home, my days consist of work and hotel room, those days I give to my employer. My days off are my days and I don’t even think about work and don’t except calls from work or really even personal calls from my friends at work, those days are for my and my family.

Establish Time Outs for yourself. Whatever the venue may be, stop and look around without the phone in your hand once in a while, before life passes you by...

I use all my sick time, and then some.
