Fierce Tip of the Week: Show Yourself Gratitude

In the United States of America, today is Labor Day and has been a federal holiday since 1894. According to the US Department of Labor, “Labor Day constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.”

Today we celebrate with time away from work and give thanks to people’s contributions to organizations – all around the world.

One hundred and twenty years after this holiday became official, the need to show gratitude through work/life balance and vacation is still relevant. Oftentimes it does equate to rest and relaxation. After all, the word “vacation” originates from the Latin word “vacatio,” meaning freedom from occupation.

So this week, show yourself gratitude and find time to take care of you.
