40 hours a week at work is 40 hours of life.
Imagine if every hour at work contributed to an employee’s life rather than just took time away from them.
Imagine what could change if those 40 hours felt meaningful and fulfilling.
The past decade has been dedicated to raising awareness for mental health at work.
Now, it's time to address the demands of work that drive overwhelm, the pressures that lead to burnout & the disconnect that leaves employees feeling unsupported.
Now, it's time for action.
What they don't tell you, is that the more magnetic you become, the stronger your boundaries have to be. Not everything that calls for your attention is meant for you.
4 phrases to help you start staying 'no' when you need to
💬 I'm going to get back to you
💬 When do you need to know by?
💬 I'll need to check my calendar first
💬 I need to think about it and let you know
You can be a kind person and still:
➡️ Say no
➡️ Prioritise yourself
➡️ Set boundaries
➡️ Disagree with people
➡️ Make mistakes
➡️ Stand up for yourself
Taking a long holidays doesn't cure burnout. They usually only bring temporary relief.
Truth is, 2 long weekends in a month are more restorative than a 2-week trip.
Regular breaks are the key to wellbeing.
TOP 4 workplace factors that lead to employee stress
1️⃣ Drowning in tasks they don't have enough time to do
2️⃣ Not provided the right resources they need to do the job properly
3️⃣ Never feeling appreciated in any way
4️⃣ Having absolutely no freedom or autonomy
Setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable when you've spent your life trying to people please.
Instead of focusing on other people's needs, shift your focus to your own and what makes you happy.
You'll find some comfort there.
Leaders can be tough at times, we can and should be strong but at the end of the day, human beings respond best to care and appreciation. It’s important to remember that in business, everything we achieve is ultimately done with and through other people.
The things that are easy to do are also easy not to do.
Making that call. Sending that text. Choosing the healthier snack. A moment of gratitude. 60 seconds of deep breathing. Replying to that email. Saying "I love you."
The solution is to keep trying.
