Holistic Approach

Shoving your head in a heap of work may not actually be as glamorous as the internet makes it look. Undoubtedly, hustling through your life is the need of the hour, but not at the expense of your well-being.

The topic of being able to maintain a work-life balance has been up for debate for the longest time. While some would like to worship work and overlook the need to strike a balance, the pandemic has inculcated a sense of awareness and willingness to cherish the time you have at hand for a fair number of people. The pandemic has been unkind to the world, but being locked between four walls indeed leads to a lot of introspection. Self-care was a fortunate result of that.

Applying skincare products is one way of taking care of your skin. A few internal elements like ensuring a regular intake of supplements, carrying a bottle of water everywhere you go, refraining from skipping meals, achieving sound sleep, and indulging in conversations/activities outside of work help nourish your mind, body, and soul. Everyone has their way of unwinding and relaxing from the daily hustle. In case you have not found yours yet, this is your reminder to take a break today and figure out what your go-to is after a hectic work week.

Learn to Say NO!

One of the biggest strengths a person can have is the ability to say no. When you are swamped with work and are requested to take up one more thing that might not necessarily be what you signed up for, it is okay to say no. Draw boundaries when you feel the need to and watch your level of productivity increase in no time; that will eventually tag along with satisfaction.

It is time to flex hustling while also looking after yourself. Prioritizing self-care is the new cool. No amount of appraisals or salary hikes can be at par with the reward that comes along after religiously practising self-care. Take care of your mind, body, skin, and soul, it is going to serve you well for the rest of your life.
