What Companies do to Recognize Self-Care 

A few weeks ago I shared a powerful interview with HR and Lead Associate, Brennan O’Leary. The short video below describes how his organization takes care of its people.

You will find the link to the entire interview at the end of the article.

Benefits of Self-Care

Self-care is anything you do to take care of yourself. Including physically, mentally, and emotionally. 

Its benefits are better physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Research suggests self-care promotes positive health results, such as building resilience, living longer, and managing stress.

It’s all about taking care of and meeting our needs. It’s that simple, yet not simple to do. 

Start thinking of your own needs right now. And ask yourself what is one small change you can make to take care of your needs better? 

Self-care Has Different Meanings for Everyone

People will adopt different self-care practices. Additionally, our own self-care needs may change periodically.

At times I need time to read a book just to take a break. Additionally, a walk in the winter is what I need to feel refreshed and energized.

We react better to our challenges and stresses. Self-care helps us stay positive during challenging times.
