Another crucial component to maintaining an every single day mindset and attitude supporting career development is self-care. It’s essential that you recharge and re-energize your body to maintain the level of focus, dedication, and motivation. Focusing on the opportunities before us with a positive mindset trying to learn and grow every single day by achieving and helping others requires a lot of “maintenance” for our bodies.
Self-care can come in many forms including meditation, yoga, mindfulness, exercise, reading, taking walks in nature, prayer, getting a good night’s sleep, or spending time near any body of water. The most important thing is that you’re doing something every single day.
Let’s talk about some reasons self-care is important ESD. Every day we are bombarded by thoughts, influences, and information, and our brains are constantly processing this information trying to establish what to do next or how to respond or how to react. We tell ourselves over 1,000 stories every day some experts say, and it’s essential that we be in the right frame of mind in the best versions of ourselves to respond.
Whether it’s with our family or colleagues at work or a visit to the bank or grocery store, there are times when we will need to be prepared to make the right decisions, quickly. One thing that can help us make better, selfless decisions throughout the day is by regularly taking care of ourselves.
Here are just a few of the benefits of self-care: Sleep helps to recharge the brain; exercise helps regulate emotions and hormones; mindfulness helps us relax and increase our awareness; meditation helps calm ourselves and reestablish focus; and praying can remind us of a higher power and help us with perspective.
Maintaining a positive, curious, open-minded attitude is essential to looking for the opportunities presented every day to make healthy, selfless decisions focused on learning and impacting others for the good. Practiced every single day, self-care helps support the necessary, foundational elements within each of us which drive potential to learn, grow, and achieve more both at work and outside of work.
