Takeaways:

  1. Self-care is important for well-being, but focusing on individual behaviors will never be enough to improve our well-being at work.
  2. Because well-being is foundational to our ability to achieve what we care about (safety, quality, professional fulfillment, etc.), we must prioritize it.
  3. As with anything we care about, there are few quick fixes, but we do have guidelines and an emerging evidence base to help us move forward. We need to lean into a growth mindset, pace ourselves and realize that good things take time.
