Getting ready for a marathon takes time. Begin slowly and celebrate your small wins.

When you talk with your employer about going back to work, share your goals and discuss your plan with your manager.
5. Stay connected
Keeping updated will make returning to the workforce easier when you're ready. Stay in touch with colleagues and workplace announcements.
6. Avoid judging or comparing yourself to others
Each person's journey is unique. Focus on yourself.
