We all know that self-care is important, however most agents put it on back burner during this crazy time of the year. If you want to make this your best AEP ever, you must make YOU a priority! Here are some quick tips to help set you up for success!
Get Some SLEEP
If you want to perform at the top of your game, sleep is non-negotiable. Your mind needs to be sharp and focused. Without enough sleep, you are more likely to make avoidable mistakes. Sleep can be evasive though, especially during high stress times. Check out this article from health.com for some great tips to sleep better!
Prioritize Nutritious Meals & Avoid Junk Food
This is easier said than done when you are on the road running from client to client or staying long hours at the office! Try keeping some healthy snacks in your car or office drawer. Nuts, jerky, dried fruit, or even just an apple. If you wait to eat until you are famished, you are more likely to run for a quick fix which is typically fast food. If fast food is your only option, here is a list created by nutritionists of your best options!
Stay Active
Physical activity is a natural stress reliever. Just a 10–15 minute walk can boost your feel-good endorphins and reduce stress. Want to learn more? The Mayo Clinic published a great article that breaks down the benefits as well as simple steps to help you get started.
Strive for Balance
Work-Life balance is always important, but not so easy to come by during AEP. Remember to schedule time for yourself and take breaks. Here is a blog about creating a good work-life balance. It includes tips for managers on how to help employees create a healthy balance as well!
