The Huge Self-Care Lesson The Sims Taught Me

The best business lessons never come from INSIDE your business...
When I put The Sims 4 back on my main computer earlier this year, I kinda thought I was kissing my productivity goodbye, not getting a lesson in boundaries and workaholism.
But it turned out to be the self-care lesson I didn't know I needed!
In this episode of the Brighter Broadcast, learn why I make sure to plan gaming time every week for my own self-care, and what The Sims in particular has taught me about taking care of myself. 🎉

Thanks so much for watching, unicorns! Let me know in the comments: what's your favorite game to play to relax and celebrate a productive day?

I love the Sims and you are so right! Who knew the Sims promoted selfcare!? 👍

[@WorkBrighter]

Right?! Once you think about it - it's a human simulation game, so "winning" is taking care of a human - it makes sense...but they hide the "educational" aspect so well haha!

Work Brighter makes perfect sense!

i learned a similar lesson from the sims. I found this video by searching “self improvement sims 4”
Very interesting perspective you expressed, it’s scary how much i can relate.

Gotta love the Rosebud cheat code, y'all! 🤣 My favorite expansion pack ever was Livin Large for the original game, just because it was my first one and was soooo gamechanging (literally lol)
