PEARLS of WISDOM
The Importance of Investing
in Self-care
By Binney Wietlisbach, President of The Haverford Trust Company
Everyone who knows me knows I’m a passionate (and fast) walker.
During the pandemic and our extended remote work period, I made it a point to take a walk, safely and outdoors, with every Haverford Trust employee. I’m well on my way to my goal, and it’s been a great way to reconnect with employees while we work from home and get to know everyone on a deeper level.
On these walks, I’m often teased about my fast pace, a speed which is somewhat reflective of my personality. I’m always
on the move, whether taking on new challenges, building investment strategies, meeting new people, golfing (of course) and spending time with loved ones. Time seems to fly by!
I know I’m not alone in this feeling. Between childcare, new work obligations, caring for loved ones and keeping everyone safe, life can feel like a whirlwind, especially during a global pandemic.
However, during such uncertain and challenging times, self-care must be prioritized. Doing so requires us to step outside of our hectic daily schedules and build in time to slow down, reflect, heal and recover.
