Wellness improvement

We live in a society that loves achievement, qualifications, status and success. Many people work themselves extremely hard to get there - ignoring what their bodies and minds are telling them. But what's the point of success, a great career - if you're always stressed, overwhelmed, don't see much of your family and friends (or are grumpy/tired when you do see them)? Sadly, life balance and self-care are often seen as "soft" requirements - something high achievers don't (or shouldn't) need. We get the message we should just be able to soldier on through illness and stress. We are told that if we take a holiday, go on a city break, have a bubble bath or sleep-in on Sundays - all will be well again. After all, a successful person should have this under control and too much self-care is a sign of weakness or perhaps selfish or indulgent.
