The phrase “work life balance” is one that we’ve probably heard a lot about, but something that we don’t work hard enough for. No matter what career or hours you work, there’s always the burn out moment that happens after weeks of prioritizing work over life. Remember, feeling the pressure to perform at work can lead to extra long days spent at the office, snacking all day instead of eating meals, and overly consuming caffeine. These bad habits happen when you put yourself last, and allow work to take over.
Implementing a “work life balance” is important to steer you away from bad habits that can pull you away from your health goals, as well as keep you from hitting the burn out moment as much as possible.
Try out these 3 Tips For a Better Work Life Balance:
First Go Outside: It’s easy to get wrapped up at your desk and feel like you can’t get up to do anything. This is where you can make your first change. Get up and get out – even just for 10 minutes. Give your body, brain and eyes some time to reset and get reenergized in the middle of the day. Taking time to get away and clear your thoughts is the first step in prioritizing yourself.
Use Vacation Days Wisely: These days are meant to be taken, and serve as time to get you away from work and do things that make you happy.
Disconnect: Leaving work on time is hard enough in itself, but what’s even harder is leaving your work at your desk. Try to check your email only once or twice before going to bed. It’s important to keep your social life to yourself, and not get wrapped up in work, its time to disconnect!
