Work-Life Balance
Seek Fulfillment & Joy - Reduce Stress & Burnout
Trying to keep up with the ever-increasing demands of a busy lifestyle can sometimes feel like an impossible task. Many of us inevitably find ourselves taking on more and more commitments, whilst at the same time constantly analysing our performance and wondering why our life seems out of balance.
When it comes to balancing life and work, it can be helpful to acknowledge that neither side is ever permanently static. Just as the seasons change and the sun rises and sets, life and work are constantly fluctuating between balance and imbalance. Once we are able to accept this and discover joy in those ‘sweet spots’ where everything seems to be perfectly in sync, then we are better able to manage any challenges that arise and even learn to appreciate the imperfect harmony of life.

7-Step Checklist to Feel Less Overwhelmed
Challenges at work and in everyday life can sometimes leave us feeling helpless or overwhelmed. This can cause our stress level to rise which triggers the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response.
The short-term adrenaline release associated with this action may help us to deal with the new ‘threat’ by sharpening our focus. Conversely, it may leave us feeling even more overwhelmed and with reduced cognitive or decision-making ability.
The next time you find yourself in this situation, try practicing the following tips to trigger the body’s parasympathetic response instead. This will help to reduce stress levels and reset your perspective, allowing you to approach the task at hand with renewed levels of confidence and enthusiasm.
“You know, the world is going faster and faster and faster. We can't stop that. So we have to take care of ourselves so that we can deal with it. And you can see all over the world the kind of difficulties people are facing, the challenges people are facing. A lot of it is that the world is going too fast and they can't keep up. Our governments and our industry have been very successful in getting us to want to work and wanting to participate and want to be successful. But true success means you also have to be successful for yourself, not just money in the bank, but health inside your body, all of it connected. It's really important.”
