I have always been the hardworking kind of person.

I work late nights. I work extra hours. I sit in front of the computer for way more than I should. I work inside the car.

Work goes with me everywhere.

Recently though, our company went all out in making sure all of us have a healthy work-life balance.

This is being preached in our company meetings. There were benefits given to me to be able to practice that.

I know it takes a lot of mindset shift for the workaholic inside of me.

But, I know this is good.

So, today I took a day off. I am sick. I have a slight fever.

Normally, I just brush this off because I can “still work.” But, health is important. I am taking a rest.

It’s one step forward to having a healthy work-life balance.
