How You Can Have A Healthy Work-Life Balance

In today’s ever-changing climate, we are now seeing more and more jobs become remote and more people are being moved to permanent work-from-home positions. While this has many benefits and perks, we are also seeing that it leads to an increase in stress and a reduction of a well-balanced work and personal life. When you work in an office, you have the ability to clock out and leave work behind for the day. As you work from home, you are attached to your phone and computer and at times can feel that you are on call 24/7. This can lead to job resentment, stress, anxiety, and a poor work performance. It is important to set boundaries and designate work time from personal time, even while working from home. Speak to your supervisor and set times that you will be on the clock working and designate the times that you are unavailable. Put your phone down, close your computer, and let yourself take a breath. Your mental health is very important and even as you work from home, it is important you allow yourself the time to breathe and take part in enjoyable, relaxing personal activities.
