BALANCING YOUR WORK AND PLAY
April 13, 2010
Ever feel like the weekend is not long enough, especially a holiday weekend. Then the kids are home for an extra week and what do you do? Maybe your job is stressing you out. Sixty percent of women name stress as their biggest problem at work. Stress can affect your productivity on the job, your quality of life at hoe, and even your health. That is why finding a balance between work and relaxation is so important. Here are a few things you can do to make sure you are working hard but also taking “YOU” time that you so deserve.
Limit Stress. Talk to your boss about difficulties at work. Leave your desk at lunch to get a change of venue. If you work out of the home, make your day a combination.
Know when to ask for help. Whether it is a pile of paperwork or kids who need homework help, there are never enough hours in the day. You need to know when to ask for help. Enlist someone to help you at home and talk to your boss about your job responsibilities.
Get some exercise. I can never stress this enough. Exercise is not only a great way to stay healthy, it can also be a huge stress reliever. Exercise does not have to be at a gym, it could be walking the dog, pushing a stroller or running the stairs. Exercise is a way I clear my mind, put focus back into my life and it is very healthy for my over all body, mind and soul. Contact me if you need help getting started I have many programs for you to try.
