Work taking over? A guide to get a work-life balance.

We all want to spend as much time as possible doing the things we enjoy with the people we love. But, there’s no avoiding the fact that work plays a vital role in the equation. What we consider to be the perfect work-life balance might differ, but by identifying your ideal, you can start putting things in place to create more balance in your life.

Here are a few tips to get you on your way.

 

Set Boundaries

When the lines between your personal and professional life become blurred, you lose any sense of downtime. It’s never too late to establish boundaries, and it's one of the most impactful changes you can make.

Unless you’re on call, stop answering work emails or phone calls during your time off. Create clear lines between work and pleasure, and don’t let one impact the other.

 

Stress Management

Once you’ve established clear boundaries, you can begin to reduce any impact that work-related stress is having on you. LiveCalm natural daily supplements for stress and worry help put you into a calm state of mind to start the day and break the stress cycle that too often follows you home.

And, when you’re facing additional stress, from tight deadlines to office politics, CoolHead offers a top-up of rapid natural stress relief on the go. Improving focus while calming the mind, it’s a must for those particularly rough days at work.

 

Self Care

Establishing boundaries and managing stress are two important ways to create work-life balance, but it’s also essential to spot the signs of burnout before they get out of control.

Practice self-care by being aware of your own mental health and prioritising things that fill your cup. Try not to fall into the trap of using your annual leave and downtime to be productive, recharging is every bit as important.  

 

Improve Your routine

Anxiety can create unhelpful cycles in our lives, which can lead us to not always making the healthiest of choices and ultimately end up creating more stress for ourselves. Your vice might be fast food, alcohol or Netflix-bingeing, and these can sometimes be a band aid and distract you from fixing the root cause of your worries.

To get the most out of your downtime, stick to a routine that includes nourishing foods (check out our blog on Mood Foods), exercise and plenty of sleep. If you’ve become a night owl, or deadlines have you struggling to get to sleep, try HeadRest, herbal night drops, that help you get to sleep and stay asleep. Formulated with calming Passionflower and natural sedative, Chamomile, HeadRest encourages a longer, deeper sleep.
