Investing in your career by investing in your health

By Jim Wiederhold

I’ve observed that at this time of year and especially this year people seemed to be at their most exhausted level in their jobs. There are many possible reasons for this—hitting the ground running after time off during the holidays, trying to meet all their personal New Year’s goals, and the long winter months. I think the biggest reason is that too many people are not prioritizing taking care of themselves and their health. To be at your best in your work, you must invest in your physical and mental health. Again, in our current environment, it’s even more critical.
