Congratulations! You’re working life wellbeing habits are helping you thrive.

​You have strong strategies in place to manage the competing commitments between work, self-care and your relationships.

The challenging task of balancing work and family responsibilities can take a toll on your wellbeing - especially with expectations to be a successful professional while also being a loving partner, care-giver and friend. 

A key benefit of your healthy habits is one you may not realize plays an important role in wellbeing; the ability to effectively listen, and respond with compassion, to your emotions.
  • By regularly practicing emotional self-care habits like meditation, journaling, spending time in nature, etc. you more easily identify your emotional needs and respond to them in healthy ways.

You've given yourself an incredible gift that not everyone has access to.  You're providing yourself with a greater sense of emotional stability and resilience, which is particularly helpful when balancing competing commitments with demands on your time and emotional energy.
  • Continue to monitor the healthy habits that promote your emotional wellbeing, like relationship building and making social connections who share your interests (at work and in life).
  • Keep practicing regular self care, like exercise that boosts your self-confidence, fulfilling hobbies and taking advantage of opportunities to rest, relax and restore your physical and emotional energy.
  • Your emotional self-care habits, like expressing gratitude, acts of kindness, etc. foster ongoing feelings of empathy and compassion (for yourself and others), which in turn help you to foster deeper, more meaningful relationships in your life.
These healthy habits supporting your emotional wellbeing are far-reaching and impactful. By taking great care of your emotional health, you're leading a happier, more fulfilling life and can better navigate the challenges that come your way.
Mindful awareness of burnout is key to understanding the vital and often hidden signs that may indicate a harmful imbalance between competing commitments.  
  • Burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged or deepening stress.
  • Burnout can be caused by many factors such as chronic illness, caregiving, professional responsibilities, financial pressure, and relationship stress.
  • It is important to remember that burnout is never just about your job but about all the intersecting and competing commitments you hold.

​Knowing the signs can ensure you ​attend to your wellbeing.
