I’m not sure about your company but mine loves to use the phrase “work-life balance” almost to the point where we all find it to be a huge joke. Usually you are rewarded if you stay towards the “work” piece and are frowned upon if you follow too closely to the “life” side. So how do you find the balance without ended up stressed out? Well I’m still working to find that. What I have found is a place called The Stress Institute. It sounds peaceful doesn’t it? I think so. The Stress Institute is run by Dr. Kathleen Hall who has developed stress reduction plans to fit your needs and help you find the balance between work and life. She works with both individuals and corporations/companies so if you are looking for a team building exercise this might be a very useful and interesting topic to discuss. A happy and stress-less worker is a more productive worker and one that will keep everyone in the office positive. Even if you don’t think you are highly stressed you should check out The Stress Institute’s website as there are many tips on how to combat stress and stay stress free. I practice many of these techniques such as breathing exercises and meditation and I can tell you it really helps de-stress and relax.
