MAINTAINING MENTAL WELLNESS WHILE WORKING

 Achieving the right balance between personal and professional life is not easy. This is crucial, however. According to research studies, millions of people struggle to find a balance between work and personal lives. Over 89 percent of Americans reported feeling stressed or burnt out in the past year.

Let’s be honest. Last year was tough. A pandemic such as Covid-19 changed everything in our lives on so many levels. Even though the news of a vaccine deployment provides some hope for progress, we are still very much in the middle of things.

What is work-life balance?

Time is of the essence for many people, who are constantly juggling multiple responsibilities. It is estimated that more than 1 in 10 workers works more than 50 hours a week, which is considered ‘very long hours’ by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development).

It is, therefore, harder to maintain a good balance between work and personal life.

What to do to maintain an even balance between them

Never, ever multi-task

There are widespread myths about multitasking that are spreading through the working world. It’s time to bust these myths. We don’t multitask, the only thing we do. Rather than making any significant progress on either of the two outstanding jobs, it’s more likely that we just switch repeatedly between tasks.

Treat yourself

The last but certainly not the least point is that no matter what line of work you are in, everyone deserves the gratification of a small reward here and there, and it can benefit you to be a benefactor. Treats come in all shapes and sizes so occasionally give something to yourself.

Clock in and out on time

In addition to taking regular breaks, it is also very important to take your starting and ending times seriously. Overburdened staff is notoriously unproductive, as so-called work martyrs sacrifice time off for work reductions.
Communicate honestly

It is important to have open and honest communication in the workplace if you want to keep your mental health in check. Having upfront and understanding employers goes a long way in reducing office tensions. On the other hand, you might decide to act as a catalyst for direct communication and stick to your decision when it counts.

Take a break

Even taking a brief walk to get some fresh air, reading a book in the break room, or relaxing while you’re awake can make a huge difference. Take a little break every hour or two to recharge your mental batteries. Working longer doesn’t guarantee better results, and taking a break every few hours will help.

Try asking your employee assistance provider for tips, skills, or strategies. Another option is to do an online program or speak to an expert at PIXEMIX.

Eating healthy foods and exercising regularly can also help you stay healthy when you work from home. Based on PIXEMIX’s perspective, these concerns are relevant regardless of the place of employment.
