So how can you find a level of workplace balance that ensures you're able to be your best self 💛
Research shows that professionals who prioritise their wellbeing perform better and contribute more effectively to their organisations.
According to a study by the University of Warwick, happy employees are up to 12% more productive than their counterparts who are unhappy.
Research from the University of California found that employees who are less stressed are more likely to be creative and innovative.
So here's 5 non-boring tips to help bring balance into your working day:
✏️ Pen & Paper Planning: ditch the computer for an hour or two, get some pens, paper and some colouring pens/pencils, and spend time strategising your workload whilst being artistic.
🧘 Mini Meditations: try the 5-4-3-2-1 method, or head to YouTube and pick a mindful video that speaks to your needs.
🌍 Take Your Tastebuds Tripping: use your lunch break to explore a new culinary or cultural experience. You don't need to go far to explore new things.
📚 Learning Labs: allocate one or two hours a week to learn more about your profession. Education is great for motivation, and your projects will benefit too!
🤗 Gift Of Gratitude: Finally, don't forget that summarising your wins is just as important as your daily To Do list. Try finishing each day with it a gratitude list.
Like when riding a unicycle, balance in the workplace is something that has to be learnt. But unlike riding a unicycle, it will make it much easier to get to where you want to be!
