1. The F.I.R.S.T. Tip
In the hustle and bustle of corporate life, it is easy to lose sight of our mental health and wellbeing. This impacts not just our health but also our career.
Therefore, regularly setting aside time to sustain and enhance our mental wellbeing is an imperative that cannot be ignored. It prevents burnout, supercharges productivity and enhances the overall joy we get from our life.
Here are 3 simple ways we can make this happen:
#1: Mindful Moments Amidst the Madness
Our mind needs moments of respite to thrive. You can make this happen by incorporating brief pauses throughout your day. For example, while working, especially when dealing with vexing issues, take a few minutes to breathe deeply, clear your mind, and recenter your focus. Or take a short walk.
Tip #2: Foster Supportive Connections
Isolation can take a big toll on our mental health. Take the time to cultivate a trusted and supportive network, in your professional and personal life. Sometimes, a simple conversation with a trusted colleague is all you need to sustain you through challenging times.
Tip #3: Set Clear Work Life Boundarie
If you don’t set clear work and life boundaries, the line between both can easily become blurred. For example, starting and stopping work at specific timings. Prioritizing work so that you stay within your stipulated timings, yet stay productive and ensure critical / time-sensitive tasks are taken care of. And don’t forget, to close the loop on the two points above, setting aside time for yourself, your personal priorities and your relationships must be on your priority list, always.
Tip: Prioritising mental well-being boosts productivity.
