Working is no more a stress now!!
Work life balance is an important topic for all of us in today's world. I started realizing it in my Thirties but now I feel it is even needed for a school kid :). I can share my journey as example to start with.
When I started my career I used to work late nights as I had the fear to accomplish myself.
Then started observing these signs in my lifestyle:
1. Started feeling tired after work like my eyes are over used.
2. Started waking up tired by not having quality sleep.
3. Feeling not motivated to try new things.
4. And most importantly not feeling like smiling or laughing:)
Luckily got into yoga classes held in my office which was a turning point in my life.
Eventually I got inspired from like minded folks about healthy eating. Then followed few tips like
Splitting my day for mindful eating and fitness.
A strict no no for tv during eating time.My kids 5 year old and 5 months old are now my followers:)
Involving myself in my passion organic farming.
Setting up a routine:
Now I am starting my day early before my kids wakeup and spend some me time for journaling. I involve my family for meal planning and they enjoy it too:). Last but not least spending time with nature as simple as plucking flowers and tieing them :)
Being part of a community:
Thanks to WhatsApp, helping me connect with my like minded community.It is a better way to help others which in turn helps yourself giving some positive vibes.
We are brands too:)
After lot of trail and error on myself, and realizing what works best for me,I have started investing my time into things that help me develop as a brand.
In short pack your career which helps your physical and mental health.
