  Hey, friend! You’re a hard worker. You do more than anyone else in your workplace! If they haven’t made you boss yet, they’re missing out.Your intense work ethic, paired with your passionate personality, makes you the perfect person to be at the top of the food chain. However, the real question is, ‘Are you working too much?You might not think so, or if you do, you’re not sure how you can get out of it now that you’ve set that standard for yourself.Whatever the case, you’ve come to the right place.People who work hard to keep up with life are often seen as honorable, trustworthy, and passionate and have the potential to move up in the company.The problem comes when work takes over your entire life. It damages your interpersonal relationships. You’ll get less sleep, and fitness and nutrition will get pushed down the priority list. You’ll lose passion, motivation, and productivity. Your focus will become blurry.It’s time to take a step back and reprioritize your life.“It's not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It's necessary.” – Mandy HaleThree things you can do to return to your relaxed self.1. Prioritize some self-care. Common self-care routines involve skin care, hot baths, reading a relaxing book, napping, cooking, or even hitting the gym.2. Set boundaries. Now that you’re a little less frazzled, re-think the boundaries you’ve set up. If the boss asks someone to work an extra shift, practice saying ‘no.’ There’s nothing wrong with helping out occasionally, but if you’re constantly working extra shifts, it’s gonna affect your personal life.3. Lastly, learn to recognize workplace toxicity. Rumors, gossip, no opportunity for personal growth, and poor workplace communication are all red flags. If this sounds like your workplace, it’s time to set firm boundaries or change jobs.Check out these helpful resources:selfcareresources.comwhattodoifyoureinatoxicworkplace.comfivesignsofburnoutandhowtofixit.comHey there, I'm Ann Robinson (she/her) 👋 I help courageous people (just like you) change their lives from the inside out.
