10 simple ways to focus on self during the work day
I cannot stress enough the importance of selfcare. There are a number of benefits to focusing on self and incorporating ways to refuel and refresh. I don’t personally view selfcare as a “buzzword” or trend. Some platforms over-amplify selfcare to the point where is it fluff over practicality. Not here! As a multi-passionate mom, I’m all about practical and simple daily selfcare. In today’s post, let’s discuss 10 simple ways to focus on self throughout the day.
Career Moms and Selfcare
Having a demanding career can be both rewarding and draining at the same time. I’m excited to push toward my career goals but it does come with a level of fatigue if not properly managed. My role can be very cyclical in nature. The first week of the month, I can expect high intensity, possible late meetings, and several competing priorities.
During these weeks, I brace myself for the chaos. On the flip side, I acknowledge that it’s temporary and wait out the storm until the tides turn and I can log off at a reasonable time or earlier in an effort to refuel.
This is my form of selfcare. Some may cringe at this approach but I find that it works for me. So may prefer a more steady flow and that is perfectly fine. But for many, it’s inevitable to experience ebbs and flow on an upward-mobile career journey.
