About EP 108: Self-care
Your hosts are Kip Boyle, vCISO with Cyber Risk Opportunities, LLC, and Jason Dion, former College Professor and Lead Instructor at Dion Training Solutions.
In this episode, we discuss a critically important topic which is Selfcare.
Cybersecurity is a great career, however it is not 100% stress free, burning out and working yourself into oblivion is very common. In this episode our hosts Jason and Kip give you some tips to make sure you have your selfcare in check.
The first thing you should do is take time off. It’s common to see people who don’t take any time off, and over time it can easily get to you without you being able to realize how much your stress is building up.
Next up, always have an emergency fund. It should be between 3 to 12 months of savings.
Having this money on the side can help you get out of bad situations and maybe even have the chance to do something fun every once in a while.
The last tip we have for you is to make sure you separate self-compassion from self-judgment.
You need to realize that beating yourself up is really stressful and can easily drive you crazy.
Always treat yourself with patience, empathy, warmth, and understanding that you would expect from a friend.
You should always adopt a growth mindset, which can strengthen your abilities and give you much-needed resilience to stress and burnout.
