Many proposal professionals are asked to go the extra mile over and over again; to work weekends & holidays; and to survive on little sleep. This is not sustainable and inevitably leads to health and/or relationship problems later down the road.
Advocate for yourself! If you don't do it, who will? One of my favorite things in the proposal world is this Bill of Rights, created by Strategic Proposals LLC. Read it, share it, print it, wear it!
Know your rights!
It's not uncommon for any professional working late nights in a high-stress job to miss workouts, or develop an unhealthy diet. These apps helped me focus and regain control of my health.
When you have a lot on your mind, and you only have time for a few hours of sleep, you need to fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. Guided meditations help me fully relax and wake up refreshed.
The gym is not for everyone, but there are ways to bring more movement into every part of your day. Try making just a few small changes to boost your energy and improve joint & muscle pain.
In about the same amount of time you'd need to take a decent lunch break, you can get a refreshing and invigorating full body massage or stretch. Yes, you DO deserve it!
It is OKAY to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. It's actually common for professionals in high stress jobs, who miss family moments, personal days & sleep.
The Calm Box was my favorite birthday present last year and I'll talk about it forever. Treat yourself to aromatherapy and mindfulness gift boxes to give your heart a boost.
I do not receive any compensation for promoting products. I am sharing these resources because they once helped me, and I hope they will help you too.
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
