Wednesday Wellness: Balance
Happy Hump Day! You’ve made it to the week’s midpoint–aka a perfect time to consider ways to best achieve a professional sense of balance. Achieving that balance is something that takes practice rather than occurring overnight. If you find yourself stumbling along the way while establishing your ideal work-life balance, think of those missteps as learning opportunities. After all, we all make mistakes. It’s how you recover from them that makes the difference. Striving towards figuring out a better equilibrium will offer up a great education, whichever way it goes. And we’re rooting for you along the way! To help keep you in the best mindset for achieving balance in the workplace and beyond, check out the sayings below we’re highlighting for you today:
- “Every day I achieve greater balance between my thoughts and my actions.”
- “I balance work and play everyday.”
- “I will not try to control situations and experiences that are beyond my control but instead focus my energies on the things in my own life which I can control.”
Know that achieving a sense of balance is something that takes place over time. And both your thoughts and actions are components that combine to produce your workplace performance. So make sure that you’re taking time to both work and play each and every day. Though it may feel difficult to press pause in order to have fun, doing so is a necessary part of recharging your batteries so that you can show up as your best self. You can also maintain a sense of balance by remembering to focus your energies on achieving your own balance; after all, you need to first tend to yourself before you can show up as a source of support for your professional community. Visit us again tomorrow for even more concrete tips and tricks from the pros on ways to achieve and maintain a sense of balance within your workplace and beyond!
