Everyone is replaceable at work.
Even the ones who arrive early.
The ones who stay late.
The ones who eat lunch at their desks.
The ones who skip meals and breaks altogether.
The ones who push through headaches, exhaustion, and cortisol spikes because they’ve forgotten what it feels like to listen to their bodies.
The ones who never say “no” because they want their commitment to be seen.
This is your reminder: your body will always collect the bill.
If you don’t make time for your well-being now, you will be forced to make time later.
✨ Take care of yourself. Your health is not replaceable.
📌 Save and share this post as a reminder that your job security does not come in the form of self-sacrifice, neglect, and overstepping. It comes from safety, connection, clarity, and boundaries.
