Career Tip of the Week

Tip of the week: Take Care of Yourself As One of the Building Blocks that Advance Your Careers

by Gabe Hamda, PhD., SPHR

Introduction

You are the central subject, the main star and the chief navigator of your career. Thus taking care of yourself and your immediate family is your most important responsibility.

The Six Building Blocks that Advance Your Careers

  • Set your career goals
  • Seek self improvement
  • Solve Problems
  • Take care of yourself and your family
  • Strengthen your Networks
  • Make a difference in your community and in our world

What is taking care of yourself?

Taking care of yourself is maintaining your quality of life and maintaining the quality of life of your immediate family.

In fact, taking care of yourself is

  • Realizing your worth
  • Understanding you are a gift and you are gifted
  • Knowing you need you
  • Being aware your family needs you
  • Knowing your community needs you
  • Realizing your country needs you
  • Understanding our world needs you

Why is taking care of yourself so important?

Taking care of yourself is so important because you are the most important building block:

  • You are an important building block of our world
  • You are an important building block of our country
  • You are an important building block of our community
  • You are an important building block of the organization you work for
  • You are an important building block of your family
  • You are an important building block of your volunteer group
  • You are an important building block of our economy

What are actions you can take to take care of yourself?

(1) Be kind to yourself. Refrain from self blame.  encourage yourself. treat yourself like your best friend.

(2) Get good rest. sleep well.  Allow yourself to daydreaming.

(3) Allow yourself to do what you really enjoy. Make time to engage in activities you enjoy. I enjoy walking in the park and do it 2-3 times a week. What do you enjoy?

(4) Forgive yourself when you make mistakes. Mistakes are amazing teachers. I love the mistakes I can learn from. No need to be embarrassed by your mistakes and failures. Perfect people do not exist.

(5) Allow yourself to play and laugh like a child – This is good for your health and improves your ability to be creative.  Being too serious all the time is not good for your health. It also scares the people around you. I understand you have big responsibilities. My wife and I play cards. She likes the game “conquer”; I like the game “sekka”. We mix it up. We offer congratulate the winner of each game.

(6) Say no without guilt when you are asked to over commit your time and your resources. I am beginning to celebrate people who tell me “No”.

(7) Allow downtime after a big accomplishment or after a big performance. You cannot be at your peak all the time. This is how you re-charge.

(8) Enjoy food that is good for you and tastes good to you in moderation. Eat more fresh foods and stay away from processed foods – I enjoy fresh salad. Fresh salad is good for me and good to me.  Stay away from sugar and sugary products. Sugar is bad for your health and you may check with our uncle “google” the effects of sugar on your health.

Concluding Remarks

While advancing your career is a means to maintain your quality of life; maintaining your quality of life is not a means to advancing your careers. Taking care of yourself is the first step to advance your careers. Taking care of yourself is the foundation of other building blocks that advance your careers.
