Making It Personal and Looking After Yourself
Let’s take a quick break from the rather cold world of computers and technology to talk about an important subject: self-care. A lot of people who work in IT or are mostly engaged in technology have the tendency to show less self-care and warmth. Prolonged interaction with computers and smartphones can have this impact on people. Fortunately, there is a way to reverse the effect; by practising self-care and gratitude.
Self-care for social workers is considered to be extremely important. The same can be said for the rest of the population. When you have a high level of self-care, you have a better ability to care for others, pay attention, be empathetic and maintain a high level of positivity. You can have a personal life; be grateful about the friends, and things, you have and achieve so much more.

I think with how busy our society is, that some people forget to self care. I see so many people stressed to the max.
Both my brother and sister-in-law are social workers… I honestly don’t know how they do what they do! I’m going to send this article to both of them.
My fav self-care is a long hot bath and a big glass of wine:) I try to make it red so it’s at least healthier for my heart!
I was in the technology field for 10 years, I understand all too well how we can be neglectful of our help. Now that I am a full time entrepreneur, I also understand the importance of self care. I write in my gratitude journal every morning.
