1. Plan Your Vacations
Yep, this is now at the top of my list. It was not always. I used to think that I could not afford to take a few days off due to my extreme Midwestern work ethic; however, it is essential for your well-being to build in down time and take a mini-retreat at least every quarter.
This past year, I have seen too many of my clients pay the price for not doing this. Sooner or later, your body will force you into taking down time…if you don’t’ do it yourself. Okay, call me Debbie Downer, I don’t care… but someone has to say it. It could be cancer, gallbladder disease, or even an aneurism. Those of us who have chosen to play a big game also need to give ourselves the time to let our body catch up to the lightning speed at which we are moving. We are only human after all (duh), but sometimes we forget…We tell our patients to take time off, eat right, and exercise.
Hey Captain Obvious…it’s good advice for us, too!
