The holidays are behind us, but many of us are returning to work even more exhausted than before we left for our vacations. It’s really no wonder with all of the additional tasks that the holiday festivities involve (wrapping presents, decorating trees, visiting relatives, cleaning up that wrapping paper, and much more). The good news is that there’s no better time to get back on track.
So, when thinking about your goals for 2023 (don’t worry, you can still formulate them post Dec. 31st), it’s very important to put self-care at the top of your list.
Here are a few ways that you can prioritize taking care of yourself this year:
1, Identify what’s important to you in terms of self-care.
2, Schedule it.
3, Factor in sleep.
4, Hydrate.
5, Plan your meals.
6, Work a solid fitness routine.
7, Book some time away.
8, Feed your mind.
9, Don’t forget alone time.
10, Remind yourself.
