Striking a Balance Between Work and Life

By

The Balancing Act

Finding a balance between work and life as we go about our day-to-day can be like searching for the proverbial holy grail.

Hillary Rodham Clinton once said, “Don’t confuse having a career with having a life.” Wise words indeed.

Some days, managing to switch off after a long and stressful day at work can be a difficult task. It becomes almost impossible to make the most out of a day – especially when all that fills your mind is everything you need to do once you walk back into the office tomorrow. By following the tips detailed below, finding the balance between your work and your life will become easily achievable. And, your time out of the office will be exactly that.

Avoiding the tipping point

Important business deals or meetings can creep up on you sooner than you expect. All the while you simultaneously deal with everything else your work and life throws at you. Therefore, a helpful tip when it comes to achieving the balance between your work and personal life to prioritise your time. It is helpful to figure out what is urgent and important verses what is important but not urgent. Similarly, it doesn’t hurt to figure out what is neither urgent nor important. Work on tasks that are required to be finished sooner first and understand the importance of another task’s completion later. With a prioritisation and planning of your time and tasks, work related stress will decrease or disappear completely, and allows you to make the most of your time out of the office!

 

When the day ends and you do find this time out of the office, what better way to spend it than with your family or close friends! Scheduling regular meetings with friends or specific family time not only forces you put aside the time to spend with those you love, but provides you with something pleasant to push stressful work related thoughts from your mind. Family movie nights or an organised trip to the spa with friends are perfect ways to escape and remember what is truly important in life.

 

Long story short, you only have one life. It is important to enjoy your work, and therefore it is also important to do whatever you can to ensure every minute spent working is as positive an experience as possible. Time flies by, and before you know it, you won’t be able to do the things you really truly enjoy. Welcome life with open arms, because in the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.

Mindful Living series: Harnessing Resilience

By Leave a Comment

Mindful Living CBR presents ‘Living Mindfully’ Series

at Jindii EcoSpa

Harnessing Resilience: Are you stressed at work? Is your mind occupied by a thousand tasks, obligations and matters at home? Do you need to slow down and create some time and space in your life to nurture and restore your own sanity and sense of well-being?

If you answered yes, to any of these questions, than we invite you to join us at Jindii EcoSpa where you can relax, unwind and just ‘Be’, whilst in the lush surrounds of the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

If you’re looking at ways to build your skills and capacity to manage everyday stressors in your life and want to be more mindful, present and more responsive than reactive, than join us for our “Living Mindfully” workshops, led by Jacquie Shannon of Mindful Living CBR. If you’re new to it, these practical workshops serve as a great introduction to mindfulness.

Who is this for?  Ages 16+.

Perhaps you can identify with one or more of the following:

  • Have a tendency to panic, as a first reaction to stress
  • Think too far ahead and you get so lost with what needs to be done, that you feel paralysed to act
  • Stuck in the past with feelings of guilt, what ifs, if only and you know you’re missing out on enjoying the present
  • Tendency to overthink things and feel overwhelmed
  • Feeling like your emotions are sometimes out of control
  • Noise! It’s everywhere and you just want some peace and time out
  • You’re desperate to do something good for yourself and meet your own needs for once

Are you looking to implement a regular mindful practice in your life and:

  • Expand your understanding and knowledge?
  • Reduce stress and manage your emotions better?
  • Slow down and appreciate and notice life around you more?
  • Take some regular timeout to relax?
  • Get back into nature and ground yourself?
  • Learn how to create a more balanced lifestyle?
  • Develop the skills needed to effectively lead and manage others?

If this is resonating with you and you know it’s time to put a self-care plan in place, then join us at our following ‘Living Mindfully’ Workshops. Each session can be booked separately on Eventbrite.

  • Mindful Stress Management – Sunday 10th February 2019, 10:00am-11:30am. $35.00 
  • Mindfully Restoring and Re-energising Your Body and Soul – Sunday 10th March 2019, 10:00am-11.30am, $35.00
  • Harnessing Resilience – Sunday 14th March 2019, 10:00am-11.30am, $35.00

At each session you will:

  • Gain expert information and insights from trained Mindfulness Teachers and Practitioners
  • Learn key strategies and tips on how to engage in mindful practices
  • Develop your own well-being approach for the month ahead
  • Practice mindfulness and meditation

All sessions take place at Jindii EcoSpa. Light refreshments will be available.

Book in for all three sessions to receive the most benefit and time to plan your own comprehensive mindful approach to self-care and well-being.
