Professionals Relax Too

No matter how corporately inclined you are,focused and consummate in your career, there must always be time for you.

It doesn't mean that if you switch off for the weekend or an evening that you'll be any less effective professionally.

Arguably in creating a separate stream you are giving your mindset the opportunity to go elsewhere.

To create a new mental and perhaps physical focus which regenerates for next business day.

You may also actually realise, that by taking yourself elsewhere, those business issues suddenly become resolved by your unconscious mind throwing up a solution.

But not only that,  you have to remember all that effort you put in us for you and your loved ones.

To adopt certain lifestyles, undertake activities that drive and satisfy and to network with like mi ded groups of people.

Yes some people like to focus on what people do, how senior they are etc. But these folks really must think about the fact that social competition doesn't elevate them anywhere but in their own mind.

Leave the networking and the competitions in your professional life. Again you're not switching them off. Fact is if you're that big a personality   a say or weekend away won't diminish that.

But by not doing so could diminish socially and it's so important to protect against that happening.

So know who you are,be comfortable with achievements and plan to progress development.

But most of all be comfortable in your skin and don't find you're only competing with yourself.
