Work/life balance - Take a real holiday and relax

We all try to achieve a work/life balance but ask yourself are you taking a real holiday and really relaxing when you do? Right now is a great time to organise that holiday with incredibly low airfares and travel deals on offer, but how are you going to avoid incidental work creeping into the equation?

Have you ever noticed that some people are always happy, no matter what the situation or what’s happened to them, while others seem to be eternally unhappy with life, that nothing goes in the right direction for them.
Like keeping fit and healthy, we need to work at being happy.

Where do you want to be?
We all have goals, things we want to achieve and places we want to get to, but the path can be riddled with potholes and detours.

Results of a Newspoll Omnibus Survey commissioned by Lifeline Australia indicate that an alarming 91% of adult Australians feel stress in at least one important area of their lives.

Reducing Stress
Stress is a response to an event or situation. It can be positive or negative. Stress is common in daily life and may be associated with work, family or personal relationships. It usually means that something is happening that’s causing worry and affecting how we are thinking and feeling.

Is your life out of control?
Just when you think you’ve got all your bases covered and your physical health is tracking well, are you sure you haven’t forgotten something? It’s not just our bodies we need to look after, but our minds as well. You’d be surprised at how easy it is to overlook our emotional well being.

How are you feeling? What are you thinking? What were you thinking just a moment ago? And how did you feel then?

Keeping active helps depression
