I have been on vacation for the last week, my office closed for the break. Before I went on vacation I wrote a list of what I should do during my break. I did tackle some things on my to do list-
- Took a nap
- Read two books
- Had great dinners with my friends
- Took long walks with my dog
These are all things that I needed to remember for my mental health. We all need to remember that every once in a while we need to take care of ourselves and make ourselves the priority.Self care is one of the most important gifts we can give our loved ones. Someone asked me what gift I gave my husband for what seemed to be our 100th anniversary, I replied – a mammogram. Take time to care for yourself mentally and physically , as much as work is important, it is not everything. Challenge yourself to make this a priority in the coming year.
