Last updated Feb 11, 2023

When striving for success, it is easy to forget about your mental and physical health. But without health, you cannot fully succeed. Follow these ten lifestyle strategies for success in your personal and professional life.

Self-care has become an all-encompassing term that has strayed from the importance of everyday commodities that keep us in good health and spirits. Though pampering and “treat yourself” moments still have value, here are ten ways to invest in yourself to produce long-lasting, positive results.

Here are some things every working woman should do this year:

Prioritize self-care: Make time for yourself to recharge and reduce stress. This can include things like exercise, meditation, or simply taking a break from work.
Set goals: Identify both personal and professional goals for the year, and create a plan for achieving them.
Network: Attend industry events, join professional organizations, and connect with other women in your field. Building a strong network can lead to new opportunities and growth.
Learn new skills: Consider taking a course or attending a workshop to learn new skills that can help you advance in your career.
Ask for a raise or promotion: If you feel you are underpaid or deserve a promotion, have a conversation with your employer. Be prepared to explain why you believe you deserve it and what you bring to the company.
Negotiate work-life balance: If you are feeling overwhelmed with work, consider negotiating a flexible schedule or working from home.
Invest in your finances: Consider meeting with a financial advisor or taking a course to learn more about managing your money.
Get involved in advocacy: Support initiatives and organizations that promote women’s rights and equality in the workplace.
Find a mentor: Seek out someone in your field who can offer guidance and support as you navigate your career.

Remember, these are just suggestions and what works for one person may not work for another. The most important thing is to find what works for you and prioritize your well-being and career growth.
