  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 but it doesn't have to be the common approach. Self-care can also be a night out with friends, a healthy meal to fuel that production, or a snuggle fest with your kids, partner, or pet. Self-care is anything that you do intentionally that makes you feel taken care of. Want more on self-care?? Click here to read How to Prioritize Self-Care while Juggling Career and Family.2. Set boundaries. Now that you’re a little less frazzled, re-think the boundaries you’ve set up. Determine what your boundaries are and stick to them. Maybe it's being able to work out every day, or getting to pick the kids up before 5, or maybe it's just that you actually sit down to eat your lunch. Find your boundaries, respect them, and impress that respect on others too. Want to learn more on boundaries?? Click here to read Protect and Respect Your Boundaries. 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. It is totally possible to get paid what you're worth, in a job you enjoy, while maintaining your boundaries. You may not believe me yet but just taking the quiz tells me you're at least curious in finding out. If you're ready to take the next step in your career journey let's talk. I've helped countless professionals take back control of their careers and move into jobs they love while maintaining their boundaries. The first step is figuring out what you really want. Let's set up a call to take that first step. Are you ready?
