I’m thankful for finally realizing that self-care is a necessity. There’s nothing like a sniffle or crud that makes you come to realize a few things like:
- your co-workers don’t want your germs
- your work will be there when you return
- you’re no good until you can function coherently
- a little rest does a whole lot of good
I will admit – I was always the one to “power through” my illness, thinking my so-called bravery is for the greater good of getting the job done and not letting those around me down. But if I’m honest with myself, the only one I’m hurting is me. By not taking the time to recover and rest, I’m wearing myself down and taking even longer to get back to being my usual cheerful, healthy self. Lesson learned!
